Can I sue the dentist because he did not give me antibiotics before the extraction?

Mark Joseph Leonardo
Answered by attorney Mark Joseph Leonardo (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Dordick Law Corporation
I asked a dentist friend of mine and this is his answer: The answer is no unless: 1. The patient has metal screws for orthopedic repairs and or has heart valve damage and other heart valve damage that would be required by the American Heart Association to have the patient pre-medicated with antibiotics prior to any dental procedures including cleanings and extractions. 2. Or the patient is showing obvious signs of infection such as swelling, pus exudate, fever and other systemic symptoms that indicated an acute infection is taking place. In these cases antibiotic pre-medication with an antibiotic (ie. 2000mg of Amoxicillin one hour in advance of any procedure) and in addition antibiotic prescription of say Penicillin Vk 500mg 28 tablets taken one every 6 hours for 7 days). 3. there are some acute infections that require antibiotics for several days until the systemic symptoms are under control before an extraction is performed. If the infection is localized than no antibiotics need be prescribed. However, a wise dentist will always prescribe antibiotics for all extractions since you cannot predict which patients will develop adverse reactions and progress into an acute infection even if the patient showed no overt signs of infection prior to the procedure. There is also the issue of over prescription of antibiotics leading to bacterial resistance. It is a huge problem because doctors and dentists are running scared of law suits for failing to prescribe antibiotics. If you want to ensure whether you have a case or not, get to an attorney with the records from the dentist so the attorney can have them reviewed by an expert dentist who would need to opine that your dentist acted below the standard of care under the circumstances presented. Malpractice claims require testimony from an expert that the health care provider acted below the standard of care. If you can get this opinion now, then you should sue. if not, then don't.

You ought to be more careful who you decide to live with. You can sue the bad guy, but fat chance of collecting from a bum (as you describe him).

When they include future medical expenses in a settlement, how many years does this cover?

You have done what a lot of folk do. everything in your life is affected by your injury and you seem to be dwelling on them in that way. You would do yourself a favor by trying to turn all this around and make the best of it. That is on a purely personal level. On the professional level you did not say what kind of case you have. Is it auto liability, worker comp, something else? Is it clear liability or contested? If auto case, how many doctor visits? How much medical bills? what do the doctors say about permanency if anything? Are your doctors available to testify for you?do they say you need help for a lifetime or some other extended period? do you have a lawyer if so, what does he say about all this? Once you have all these answers you and your lawyer can estimate your claim value. If this is a comp case and you don't have some high powered psychiatric testimony you will get nowhere with all your complaints about your career and your social life. Worker comp is designed to get you care and keep you from starving while you are being treated. It is a political thing and is not based on pain and suffering and certainly does not involve all the touchy feel things you mentioned.if you don't have a lawyer get you the best PI or comp lawyer you can find.
