West Va. dentist is being sued for medical malpractice.

According to the medical malpractice lawsuit, the dentist failed to get informed consent from the plaintiff; record or maintain the original occlusion; refer her to a specialist when procedures exceeded the scope of expertise, resulting in the perforation of two teeth; make a timely referral following perforation that resulted in extensive bone loss; isolate teeth using a rubber dam; notify plaintiff or record perforations; adequately adjust occlusion of permanent crowns prior to cementation; keep accurate medical records; and otherwise properly examine, advise, care for the plaintiff.

As a result of the medical negligence, the woman suffered three fractured teeth, two of which were perforated iatrogenically; bone loss; likely permanent loss of teeth; and significant painful treatments.

The West Va. lawsuit claims compensation damages.
