Dental Negligence Claims

If you or a loved one have suffered avoidable harm due to failures in your dental treatment, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.  Our specialist dental negligence solicitors are here to support you and could help you get the compensation you deserve.

It is recommended we attend regular check-ups with our dentist to ensure our teeth, gums and mouth are healthy, but it can also identify any problems at an early stage. Early intervention for a dental problem usually makes treatment easier and more likely to be successful.

However, the care received from a dentist can sometimes fall below the standard expected, which could lead to unnecessary pain, suffering, loss of teeth or poor cosmetic results.

Types of Dental Negligence

Common types of dental negligence claims include:

  • Failure to carry out appropriate examinations and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease
  • Oral cancer misdiagnosis
  • Failure to recognise and treat dental decay leading to the loss or damage to multiple teeth
  • Incorrect fitting of a crown or bridge
  • Extraction of the wrong tooth
