Dental negligence is similar to medical malpractice, however it is rarer since there are fewer things that can go wrong at the dentists office than at a hospital. There are certain kinds of dental negligence such as a misdiagnosis. Another type of dental negligence is careless work when a dentist has caused a personal injury upon administering treatment. Another form of dental negligence is when the dentist applies inadequate treatment and the victim has suffered a personal injury due to the dentists activities. Finally, there could be an error involving the incorrect dosage of drugs given and the patient suffers from it.
