Does a dentists malpractice insurance cover his employees?

Typically, a dentist's malpractice insurance primarily covers the dentist themselves for claims related to their professional practice. However, many policies also include coverage for employees, such as dental hygienists or assistants, if they are acting under the dentist's supervision and within the scope of their employment. It's essential for dental practices to review their specific insurance policy to understand the extent of coverage for employees and consider additional liability insurance if needed.
