medical malpractice dentures tooth extraction sue?

I am not an attorney...I am not in the medical profession. I do insurance training and risk management. I can tell you this: Meet with an attorney...make sure is one that has dealt with medical malpractice before.

From what I have read in your question, there is most definitely a possible error or omission on part of the dentist. Usually, your attorney would write a letter to the dentist stating the facts of the matter (sort of like you've just stated in your question), said attorney will give the dentist a reasonable time (usually 20-30 days) to answer the same.

This is what the dentist will do: Send the letter to his/her Medical Malpractice insurer...they will kick-in and defend its insured the dentist...the attorneys that will be assigned by the insurer to defend the dentist will try to prove the dentist was not negligent or legally liable. If the dentist does not have medical insurance, that fact does not preclude him of his liability towards you.

On the other hand, your attorney will prove that in fact the dentist was liable...

At some point in time this will happen: You both will go to court or you both will settle out of court.

Anyway, I just hope whatever the outcome is, may it be for your benefit.

Hope this works for you!

So what is the malpractice here? Not telling you (assuming they knew) has posed no risk to your child unlike if it were a heart condition or suchlike, and what could they have done? Judging by the quality of ultrasound pictures I very much doubt that the deformed facial features were obvious, I can only just make out the vague shape of the baby. Even if they had known and told you what would you have done, had an abortion? not very good being seen to not want a child because his face is slightly deformed! I think you are just angry and want to take it out on someone, go ahead if you like but the whole case would rest on being able to determine the deformity from the ultrasound and even if you could I doubt you'd win. Sorry but there probably isn't much you can do.

Of course it's allowed! There's no law saying, "you can only pull up to 9 teeth at a time" or anything like that.

Yes, you get a headache, and can get a fever, when ONE tooth is extracted!

It's not up to HIM to tell YOU what your insurance is covering. It's up to you, to call your insurance BEFORE he starts, to know what the limits are.

If the dentures don't fit well . . . find another dentist who will refit with new dentures, and pay for them yourself.

What in the WORLD is WRONG with paying for your own dentures? I really don't understand that. If you NEED them, you pay for them. If you only want them, if someone ELSE is footing the bill, you can't need them too badly.

Put your teeth under your pillow before you go to sleep in an envelope w. a note to the tooth fairy explaining the actual cost and inc a veiled threat to go after her for the pain and suffering aspect if she does not comply and settle the account in full immediately!

This is guaranteed to cost less than involving any lawyers..
