Description: For many Canadian medical professionals in general (and dentists in particular in this case), the spectre of a malpractice lawsuit is a common concern. The question of such a serious legal event can be a source of significant anxiety, fueled by anecdotes and a general sense of legal vulnerability. This pervasive fear, however, is very often rooted in a misunderstanding of what professional negligence actually entails within the Canadian legal system. The reality of dental malpractice is far more nuanced and structured than the myth suggests, and so may serve to counter some of those pervasive fears. Ultimately, while malpractice lawsuits are a way to ensure accountability amongst medical professionals, they are less concerned with punishing dentists for imperfect outcomes, and more with providing recourse for patients who have suffered a demonstrable harm as a direct result of care that fell below a reasonable and established standard.
