submit

If you are a victim of a dental injury due to a dental procedure that was incorrectly done, you will want to consult a reputed dental malpractice lawyer. Here are some key areas that you should look into before selecting on an attorney to handle your case.

Experience – Dental malpractice cases will involve proving that the dentist deviated from the accepted standards of medical practice and this act of failure caused the patient’s injury. To ensure that the plaintiff has a strong case, the attorney will have to be familiar with applicable laws and the medical implications they can cause. Most cases will require expert witnesses to provide reliable testimony. The attorney will have to select these expert witnesses and prepare them for the case. All these crucial areas will require an attorney with experience in this specific field. Ask your attorney how many similar cases they have handled and ask them to provide you with references.

Medical knowledge – A medical malpractice attorney needs to understand medical terms, procedures, diagnoses, and theories. Therefore, most reputed attorneys will have nurses, doctors or other medical professionals with whom they can consult to learn more about the case.

Litigation experience – Your attorney should have experience in litigating and settling medical malpractice claims. Look at an attorney that you are comfortable working with as most dental malpractice cases can take years to solve.

Teeth Bleaching Myths

Article provided by Dr. Sid Solomon.

Bleaching your teeth is now fairly commonplace, and it’s often done at home. Since it’s so easy to get ingredients and do the procedure, many are wondering what the drawback is. There is no obvious downside, but the danger comes from not following directions adequately. Here are some of the myths about home whitening kits dispelled.

Bleaching Hurts

If teeth bleaching hurts or lead to sensitive gums, then there is a good chance you spilled some of the solution onto your gum line. If exposed for a long period of time, it will lead to sensitivity and some pain. That’s why it’s important to follow the directions and get assistance if you’re unsure of what to do.

Bleaching is Permanent

This is an obvious myth, but people seem to buy into it anyway. There is nothing about what your dentist does that is any more permanent than what you can do over the counter. The difference is in technique, and sometimes the quality of the solution and procedure. Your dentist offers a safe bleaching backed by experience and technique, using solutions they have tested and found success with.

You Don’t Need to Consult a Dentist

If you have sensitive teeth, or some form of gum disease, then bleaching can really complicate recovery and daily life. You should also ask your dentist if they have any recommendations. Non-serious cases often only need an over the counter treatment but the dentist may have a better option at an affordable price.
