What can I do if I was involved in an auto injury and loss my wage and pay and the attorney is not aggressive?

In Michigan your No Fault auto insurer should pay your wage loss @ 85% of your lost gross wage. You will need to provide them proof of employment/pay rate and proof of disability related to the motor vehicle collision injuries. They have 30 days to pay once they have reasonable proof of loss. Your attorney will have to read the insurance policy/look up case law as to which wage rate applies. As I recall, but I haven't done any research on this issue in years, if you are temporarily unemployed, then the rate from your prior job would be used. If you had a new job then it's likely that rate would be used - but have your attorney research the point and argue your best case. You may hire/fire any one you hire to work for you, including an attorney, at any time. If there is a written contract (as there should be with a pi attorney) then it's terms control re: any payments due, liens, etc.

Do I have a case against the dentist?

Not malpractice. This was a judgment call. Some children will have difficulties no matter what you do. How much anesthetic is enough? How much is too much? Some teeth are just plain difficult to get out. Tooth fracturing is not uncommon, given that the tooth is bad to begin with which is why it is being removed. It sounds to me that he did the best he could do with a bad situation.

Could they sue my parents for all they have even if the accident was not my fault?

Liability for car accidents is based on fault. You are an adult, and unless you are driving on an assignment from your parents (making you their agent) or have such a bad driving record that they shouldn't have entrusted you with a vehicle, they are not personally liable for your accidents. If you're on their insurance policy or are a permissive driver of their vehicle, their insurance carrier should pay damages based on your own fault, up to the limit of the insurance coverage. These are the general rules. Please understand that accident cases are fact-specific.
