My Dentist Messed Up My Teeth, What Can I Do?
If you feel that your dentist has made an error or failed to properly address your dental concerns, it’s important to take the right steps to protect your oral health and resolve the issue. Here’s what you can do:
- Contact Your Dentist
The first step is to reach out to the dental office. Discuss the problem and see if they are willing to correct the mistake. Many dentists are willing to make adjustments or offer solutions if there was a miscommunication or error. - Get a Second Opinion
If you’re not satisfied with the response, it’s a good idea to seek a second opinion from another dentist. A new professional can assess the situation and provide treatment options for fixing any issues. - File a Complaint
If you believe the error was due to negligence or poor practice, you can file a complaint with the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry.
