Dental Negligence Claims

What is dental negligence?

Dental negligence occurs when a dental professional fails to provide the appropriate level of care, resulting in injury or harm. Instances of inadequate, delayed, or incorrect treatment can not only affect your physical health but also impact your financial and emotional well-being.

To help you understand dental negligence or dental malpractice, we’ve provided some common examples below. You may be eligible to pursue compensation if you’ve experienced any of the following:

1. Delayed diagnosis: Timely identification of dental issues is crucial. If your dentist failed to detect a problem promptly, it could lead to delayed treatment and exacerbate the issue.
2. Incorrect or careless treatment: This can include situations such as extracting the wrong tooth or using excessive force, causing further injury.
3. Misdiagnosis: A misdiagnosed dental issue can result in unnecessary treatments and additional complications.
4. Substandard treatment: If your dentist or orthodontist performed the treatment poorly, leading to further harm or injury.

If your experience doesn’t fall into one of the categories above, don’t worry. Our skilled dental negligence solicitors are here to discuss your unique situation and determine how we can help.
