The dental office should be a place for preventive care and long-term oral health — not the source of new problems. When patients continue to experience infections, decay, tooth loss, periodontal disease, or abscesses despite routine care, it may signal that certain treatments did not meet accepted dental standards. Our licensed dental experts provide independent evaluations to help patients understand what went wrong, identify potential treatment errors, and make informed decisions to restore and protect their oral health.
Identifying the Root Cause of Your Issue
Bacterial infections and abscesses can develop for many reasons, including untreated decay, failed treatment, improper cleaning, delayed diagnosis, or other complications. An independent dental evaluation can help determine whether the care provided may have contributed to the problem.
Your infection or abscess might be attributed to:
- Improper cleaning by a dentist or hygienist
- Unclean or unsafe dental equipment
- A failed dental implant or root canal
- Misdiagnosis
- If your dentist mishandled your treatment or prescribed an incorrect course of action, they bear responsibility for the resulting infection or abscess.
- Decay not treated
- Infections not treated or diagnosed
- Loss of teeth or tooth
- Bone Loss
