Dental malpractice is not an area that receives much legal attention. The potential recovery does not seem to be worth the trouble of preparing the case. I became interested in the problem as the result of personal friends who had inferior dental work at about the same time. Since I was hearing about the pain they were suffering, and the refusal of their dentists to acknowledge a problem even existed, I began to study the matter. I don't think many people, not even many dentists, are knowledgeable concerning the problems I am about to describe.
Teeth are extremely sensitive.
The sole function of the single largest portion of your brain is devoted to management of your mouth, bite and jaw alignment. Think about it. The fact is, you brain is constantly realigning your jaw, searching for the correct resting position. You are sensitive to minute changes in your bite. When a dentist does a crown or filing, he is likely to affect the alignment of biting surfaces.
