Malpractice?

If a dentist ignores a treatment plan and you consequently suffer from
teeth damaged to the point of tooth lose and or root canals is a
Malpractice suit in order?
i.e. if you have lost confidence in your dentist's abilities shouldn't
you see the dentist recommended by an attorney?

You would have to demonstrate that the dentist's action (or lack of
action) was the proximate cause of the damage. Furthermore, you would
have to demonstrate that you followed the dentists recommendations, and
that this caused the damages.
If you lose confidence in your dentist, you should see another dentist.
Going to an attorney is the last thing I'd do, not the first.

I'm wondering why a dentist would ignore his/her own treatment plan in
the first place.

Maybe it's the patient's own treatment plan. ;-)

well, I chose the dentist but after having been under his "care" for
more than a year, I'm disappointed.
I did get a second opinion and it seemed decay in more than one tooth has
been ignored until major work in needed.
I did complain about pain and it was labeled gum recession and Ambesol
was suggested. It was decay all along. And probable tooth loss.
we're looking at $10,000+ . Probably all preventable.

Most certainly preventable, but by whom and at what time was it
truly preventable?

My unsolicited 2¢:
If you are suffering from a heart attack don't call an attorney,
call a doctor or 911 !
