Your Legal Questions Answered
What are my options if my dentist failed a root canal and I am in pain?
I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this situation. If you believe your dentist has failed to provide adequate care, which has caused you harm, you may have grounds to pursue a dental malpractice lawsuit against the dentist.
It's important to remember that not all unsuccessful treatments or continued pain after a procedure is considered malpractice. To establish malpractice, you generally have to prove the following:
The dentist had a duty to provide competent care (duty of care).
The dentist breached this duty (by performing a procedure such as your root canal in such a way that breached the standard of care).
You suffered harm as a direct result of the dentist's actions
You have incurred damages (medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering) as a result of this harm.
