How long can you sue your dentist after the work is not good?

The time limit for suing your dentist after the work is not good, called the statute of limitations, varies from state to state and can also depend on the specific type of dental malpractice claim. In most states, the statute of limitations for dental malpractice claims is between one and six years. However, some states have a shorter or longer time limit. For example, the statute of limitations for dental malpractice claims in California is one year, while in New York it is two and a half years.

It's important to note that the statute of limitations for dental malpractice claims starts to run from the date that you discover, or should have discovered, the dental malpractice. This means that even if the dental malpractice occurred several years ago, you may still be able to sue your dentist if you only recently discovered the malpractice.

If you believe that you may have a dental malpractice claim, it is important to speak to an attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can help you determine if you have a case, and can help you file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations.
