Dental Negligence

Negligent Dental Treatment Claims

If you have suffered a personal injury due to negligent dental treatment, it is important to contact a specialist clinical negligence solicitor as soon as possible as there is a three year limitation period within which the claim proceedings must commence.

What is Dental Negligence?

When you visit your dentist for a check up or treatment, you trust that your dentist will carry out the correct procedures in the correct manner. Unfortunately this is not always the case.

Your dentist owes you a duty of care to carry out the correct treatment in the correct manner.  If your dentist breaches this duty of care, by providing dental care which falls below the standard which you are reasonably entitled to expect, and this results in some form of personal injury, you may be entitled to make a dental negligence compensation claim.

To make a successful dental negligence claim it is essential to be able to prove that the mistake made, be it a failure to treat, a misdiagnosis or an error during treatment, would not have been made by a reasonable and competent member of the dental profession.
