Dental Negligence Compensation Claims

In recent years an increasing number of claims have been brought for negligent dental treatment.

A dentist’s duty of care

When you visit the dentist you presume that the dentist will carry out your treatment following the correct procedures and in the correct manner. Unfortunately mistakes are made and this can lead to you suffering from pain and distress as a result of dental negligence.

Every dentist owes their patient a duty of care to treat them safely and in the correct manner. If the medical treatment your receive from your dentist is lower than the standard of care that you would reasonably expect, this substitutes a breach of duty and this could be classed as a personal injury. If you believe your dentist has breached this duty of care and provided negligent treatment you may be entitled to dental negligence compensation.

What amounts to dental negligence?

Common incidents that provide grounds to dental negligence claims include the extraction of the wrong tooth, failure to monitor progressive gum disease leading to the loss of the patients teeth, delay in diagnosis of throat cancer, the incorrect filling of a root canal, failure to treat an oral abscess, fracture of a tooth during a tooth abstraction or the damaging of a patients nerve during a tooth abstraction.
