Dental Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts dental expert witness services.

What causes nerve damage during dental procedures?

Reliable Clinical Experts dental experts testify that nerve injuries most commonly result from inadequate radiographic assessment before extractions or implant placement. The inferior alveolar and lingual nerves are most vulnerable. When pre-operative imaging fails to identify nerve proximity, or when surgical technique disregards anatomic landmarks, permanent sensory deficits constitute preventable malpractice.

How should dentists screen for oral cancer?

Reliable Clinical Experts dental experts testify that dentists must perform oral cancer screenings at routine examinations, inspecting and palpating soft tissues for suspicious lesions. Any non-healing ulcer, white or red patch, or unexplained mass requires biopsy. Failure to identify and biopsy oral cancer in early stages — when cure rates exceed 80% — is a leading basis for dental malpractice claims.
