Dental Negligence Claims |

|
Every year thousands of people in the UK
suffer as a result of Dental Negligence.
Substandard dental treatment can cause
serious injury, making simple things
like drinking and eating painful. In
some cases, it can impair speech as well
as affect your physical appearance and
daily life.
What is dental negligence?
Your dentist, as with all other health care
professional, 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.

negligence claims like:
|
-

To make a successful dental negligence claim
it is essential to be able to prove that
the mistake made, whether a failure to
treat, a misdiagnosis or a error during
treatment, would not have been made by
a reasonable and competent member of the
dental profession.
As with other areas of clinical negligence,
dental negligence is a complex area of law.
It is therefore important to consult a
specialist clinical negligence solicitor.
