Dentist did a bad job do you pay him?

No, if a dentist does a bad job, you typically do not have to pay him. If the dentist's work was negligent, you may be able to sue for damages.

Before withholding payment, you should communicate your concerns to the dentist and try to resolve the issue. If this does not work, you can contact your state dental board to file a complaint. The board will investigate and may take action against the dentist, including suspending or revoking their license.

You may also be able to file a civil lawsuit against the dentist for damages. This can include compensation for the cost of corrective surgery, pain and suffering, and lost wages. However, it is important to note that medical malpractice cases are complex and often require expert witnesses, so it is important to consult with a qualified attorney before taking legal action.
