More details to this question:
I have gotten two root canals from my dentist and both teeth ended up falling out piece by piece in less than a year. After my mom had some work done on her tooth, from the same dentist, her tooth fell out with in a few weeks. And my brother had the same thing done as me by the same dentist and the same things are happening to him.

Dental malpractice cases are always difficult to prove, as well as expensive and time consuming. You will have to be able to prove a failure to conform to accepted practice, and resulting injury as well, and expert witness testimony is required for that reason. It does sound suspicious that the same thing is happening to each of you. See if there has been any investigation done by your state. If not, perhaps there should be.

If he's at fault, you may have a case. Consult a lawyer who does medical malpractice cases. He'll have your cases reviewed by another dentist for an opinion on fault.

And you go back to this dentist why? You will have to prove that a dentist that practices what this guy does would have done it differently and that he did not perform to the standards of dentistry in your area. There may also be statute of limitations problems. You need to talk with a medical malpractice attorney.

Looks like you would be smart enough to find a decent dentist. Take the records to another dentist and get an opinion about malpractice. You have to have a dentist on your side to win.

I think you should investigate a possible case against the dentist. There are not very many lawyers who do dental malpractice work, so you will have to try to find one as soon as possible. The statute of limitations for dental malpractice cases is three years, meaning you must file your case within three years of when the dentist worked on each tooth.

Each of these incidents can be looked at to determine if the dentist did something wrong. With teeth that require root canals there are many variables that must be investigated to determine if it is an accepted complication or there is a error in procedure. This requires a dentist to look at what happened before there is any consideration of a claim. You can always sue but you have to know that malpractice claims are expensive to prosecute and are vigorously defended. You cannot proceed solely in this instance on the occurrence of a bad result.
