Nevada Revised Statutes Section 631.075 - Professions, Occupations and Businesses

“Malpractice” defined. “Malpractice” means failure on the part of a dentist to exercise the degree of care, diligence and skill ordinarily exercised by dentists in good standing in the community in which he practices. As used in this section, “community” means the entire area customarily served by dentists among whom a patient may reasonably choose, not merely the particular area inhabited by the patients of that individual dentist or the particular city or place where he has his office.
