Dental negligence can happen as a result of a delay in being treated by your dentist. Your dentist should treat you within a reasonable timeframe. Dental negligence claims can also arise as a result of inappropriate techniques during a dental procedure.

Medical professionals, including dentists, owe their patients a duty of care. If you suffer unnecessary pain or injury because a dentist falls below this duty of care, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim.

The standard of care provided by the dentist must be below that standard that would be expected of a reasonable dentist for you to make a claim. If a dentist has failed to meet the duty of care imposed on them, then they have been negligent and you may be entitled to compensation.

Dental injury can cause unnecessary pain and discomfort. Also the financial cost of correcting dental negligence can be very high. If you have a dental related claim contact one of our specialist lawyers to provide you with a free assessment.
