What is it?

Visiting the dentist is daunting for most people, even if surgery isn’t required. Therefore, having long, painful and awkward work carried out in your mouth is certainly not most people’s idea of fun. Despite this, we put trust in our dentist to carry out the work to the best of their professional ability and experience.

Unfortunately on occasion work can go very wrong and cause even further complications, which results in more painful surgery being needed to fix the work already done. If this is the case, it’s possible that dental negligence compensation could be claimed.

Dentist’s have a duty of care to their patients, as do all professionals in the medical industry. This is case in both private and NHS surgery’s. Compensation for dental mistakes can be made if the treatment you receive is not up to scratch, not as they described it would be afterwards, or if you have been caused further pain as a result.

Examples of Dental Negligence

The majority of dental negligence claims fall into three main categories. These are:

• Careless Work – When a dentist causes you an injury during the process of your treatment, you could make a claim for dental negligence compensation. Careless work could include cutting you with sharp tools, or removing the incorrect tooth during an extraction.
• Inadequate Treatment – Negligence can occur over a long period of treatment or even on a single visit to a surgery. Treatment that is inadequate is where the work carried out hasn’t been up to scratch and often causes further pain. The dentist may not have been trained to carry out the work or were unsure what they were doing. Treatment would only be considered inadequate if another dentist could have carried out the work to the required standard.
• Misdiagnosis – Is when a condition is diagnosed incorrectly and treatment is carried out on this judgement. This can result in further pain for the victim and more work needing to be done to resolve the current issues, as well as any new ones that have arisen.

There are many more ways in which dental mistakes can be made. If you believe you have suffered negligence at the hands of a dental profession, contact us for free, professional advice on how to claim.
