FACTS OF THE CASE

Attempts to patch the hole were unsuccessful. Our client retained a permanent hole in this area causing significant prurient material to flow from this site.
WHAT IS THE STANDARD OF CARE IN A DENTAL MALPRACTICE CASE?
The standard of care is that level of care that a reasonable prudent dentist is required to meet or exceed. You have a right to expect that your dentist follows reasonable prudent protocols in their field. In fact, your health and safety depends on it. When they act carelessly, and fail to follow the standard of care, and if that failure causes you harm, then you might have a pulled sinus medical malpractice case.
