Unnecessary tooth loss
Unnecessary tooth loss may occur when patients request a “new smile” and the practitioner recommends full mouth extractions without suggesting repairing existing teeth. Dentures or bridgework fixed to dental implants are never a substitute for the patient’s natural teeth. Many times the teeth could have been saved which also maintains the patients bone structure of the face.
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.
