in order to prove a malpractice case against the dentist who cared for you, you will have to be able to show that what he did or did not do was outside of what is normally accepted in the dental community in your area. If you are considering pursuing a malpractice case, you should immediately consult with an attorney who has handled dental malpractice cases before, and has demonstrated a competency in doing so. You should also start gathering your medical and dental records. Any attorney you hire will most probably have the records reviewed by a dental expert to help determine whether there was malpractice in your case. I wish you a speedy recovery.
