Dental professionals are held to as high a standard of care as any medical practitioner
As in any regulated profession, dentists, oral hygienists, orthodontists and other dental professionals owe a duty of care to their patients. The standard of care is defined as what another reasonably competent professional would do or not do based on the situation and available symptoms. Deviating from or breaching this standard puts patients at risk and can lead to serious injury. At the New York personal injury law firm of Segan, Nemerov, Singer & Sonin P.C., we leverage decades of experience analyzing such cases and fighting for the rightful compensation of injured victims.
