Dental malpractice occurs when a dentist or dental technician or employee is negligent in his or her patient treatment and care. Negligence describes an action or a failure to do something properly which results in injury to a person. Because dental procedures are complicated and apply to extremely sensitive and painful areas of the mouth, dental malpractice can be devastating to a patient’s physical and mental health.
