Failing to evaluate medical history
Failing to evaluate the patients medical history can have catastrophic results. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, previous radiation for oral/throat cancer, cardiac conditions and medications such as bisphosphonates affect the treatment that can be done. In many cases the dentist must consult with the patient’s medical professional prior to beginning treatment to insure safe treatment. Failing to do so is a breach of the standard of care and can have serious life threatening consequences or even death.
No dental care should result in injury to the patient.
Dental injuries, whether from inadequate doctor or staff training, or negligent care, can result in loss of teeth, loss of bone of the jaws, permanent nerve damage, infection, hospitalization, brain damage and death.
