A misdiagnosis occurs when a medical professional, such as a dentist, makes an incorrect diagnosis about a patient's condition. This can have serious consequences, as the patient may not receive the correct treatment and their condition may worsen. In some cases, a misdiagnosis can even lead to death.
If you believe that you have been misdiagnosed by a dentist, you may be wondering if you can sue them. The answer to this question is yes, you can sue a dentist for misdiagnosis. However, it is important to note that not all misdiagnoses are actionable. In order to sue a dentist for misdiagnosis, you must be able to prove that the dentist was negligent in their care and that their negligence caused you harm.
