Medical Negligence

Dental

Most people will undergo dental treatment at some point in their lives. However, when that treatment goes wrong, it can cause pain and suffering and leave you with costly dental fees.

We can advise you on a wide range of claims arising from dental treatment such as:

• Nerve damage caused by tooth extractions, dental implants, root canal treatments or injection of local anaesthetic
• Failure to diagnose or treat a condition leading to a worsening of that condition such as tooth decay, gum disease and fillings
• Failure to obtain consent to dental treatment
• Cosmetic dentistry claims arising from dental implants, whitening, braces, dentures or veneers
• Negligence arising from or leading to tooth extraction/loss of a tooth
• Oral cancer – dentists must screen patients for oral cancer – a failure to do so may result in the delay in diagnosis or referral for suspected oral cancer

Our specialist medical negligence team can help you to obtain compensation for your pain and suffering, as well as reimbursement of your dental expenses and the cost of any future remedial treatment you might require.
