You may represent yourself in court pro se without being represented by a lawyer. And if you prove your case, you will be awarded the damages you proved. That being said, dental malpractice law is complicated even for lawyers. In the courtroom, you will be expected to know and comply with all the court rules and procedures. If you don't, your case may be dismissed or you risk being sanctioned (fined) by the court. You should seriously consider hiring a medical or dental malpractice lawyer. You might also try some form of alternative dispute resolution (like mediation), which would allow you to get money damages without the stress and formal procedures of court.
