dental negligence
Most dentists provide a high standard of care to their patients but occasionally, negligence, sometimes called dental malpractice happens. This is when your dentist fails to treat you to the expected standard of care.
Dentists owe you a duty of care and this means that they must provide their service, treatment, or surgery to an acceptable standard.
If you feel that your treatment was below an acceptable standard or are concerned about any issue, which could be classed as a mistake or possibly a missed diagnosis, our expert solicitors are ready and waiting to advise and help you make a negligence claim for compensation.
Examples of treatment where negligence can occur includes but is not limited to:
- Root canal treatment
- Crowns and bridges
- All on four dental implants
- Standard dental implants
- Tooth extraction
- Extracting the wrong tooth
- Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis e.g. oral cancer
- Cosmetic procedures
- Nerve damage or periodontal negligence
- Failure to identify or treat infections
- Poor treatment leading to pain and suffering
