Several injuries can occur while undergoing dental
procedures. These injuries can include: nerve injury to
the jaw, lips and tongue, injuries caused by an infection,
injuries to the bones of the jaw, loss of a tooth or teeth
due to a faulty crown or bridge, loss of a tooth or teeth
due to a root canal, injury to the throat due to the
dropping of a dental instrument. These injuries and others
can be caused as the result of dental malpractice.
An improperly performed root canal where the tooth is
perforated or the root canal is not properly and
completely filled can result in the loss of the tooth. The
failure to use a rubber dam during dental procedures can
result in infection or the lodging of a dental instrument
in the patient's throat. The failure to properly and
timely diagnose conditions can result in the advancement
of oral cancer or periodontal disease. The dentist's
failure to recommend to the patient to see a specialist
for a condition outside the scope of the dentist's ability
can result in serious injury including tooth loss, oral
cancer, infection, and permanent nerve damage.
The attorneys at Sabatini and Associates, LLC have
successfully represented individuals injured due to the
negligence of a dentist. Under Connecticut law, you
typically have two (2) years from the date of the dental
malpractice in which to bring a lawsuit. Due to the legal
requirement of having a expert review your claim prior to
the filing of the lawsuit, it is strongly advised that you
contact an attorney as soon as you discover that you have
been injured as a result of dentist's negligence. This
allows our attorneys to obtain all the relevant dental and
medical records including x-rays and submit them to an
expert for his review well in advance of the two year
statute of limitations. If the expert finds that
malpractice has occurred, the firm can then file a dental
malpractice lawsuit in Connecticut Superior Court.
