If you think your pain deserves more than a “wait and see”
strategy, you should seek a second opinion immediately. Your discomfort
may be the result of your primary dentist’s mistake. He or she may
be unwilling to admit they are at fault, or do not realize they made an
error. Your dentist may also just be
negligent and fail to give your problem the attention it deserves. In any of these
cases you may have grounds for a dental malpractice lawsuit.
