Illinois Dental Malpractice Attorneys

Dental malpractice may occur when a dentist or other dental care provider fails to properly treat or diagnose an oral health condition, causing serious illness or even death. Negligent care or treatment also may include:
- Failure or delay in diagnosing an oral disease, such as periodontal disease or mouth cancer
- Misdiagnosis of a disease
- Oral care procedural or surgical mistakes
- Failure to properly treat an dental health condition
- Anesthesiology Errors
- Radiology Mistakes
In addition to the progression of oral cancer, other serious results of dental malpractice include:
- Nerve damage, including facial nerve damage
- Permanent facial numbness and/or paralysis
- Loss of the wrong teeth
- Loss of bone support
- Septic infections requiring hospitalization
- Permanent jaw damage
- Respiratory distress and/or cardiac arrest from anesthesiology malpractice
Dental malpractice cases and dental product liability claims are often complex and require an experienced malpractice attorney to understand the facts of the injury and to make the necessary links between the negligent act and the actual injury or illness. If you believe that you are the victim of dental negligence or malpractice, call Adler & Adler, P.C. at 312-443-1488. We can help you determine if you have a viable dental malpractice claim.
What do I do if I think I am the victim of dental malpractice?
First, if you are receiving on-going treatment, it is important to transfer to a new dentist to obtain the proper treatment. Do not accuse or insult the dentist or office staff. Instead, document everything that has happened, request your dental records and have them reviewed by an expert. Most importantly, consult a qualified malpractice lawyer, such as the attorneys at Adler & Adler, P.C.
