What is dental negligence?

Dental negligence occurs when a dentist (or members of a dentist’s team) breaches their duty of care to a patient, resulting in injury.

A breach of duty is deemed to have occurred if the treatment of the patient was below what would normally be expected of a dental professional of similar experience. 

Our experienced team of dental negligence solicitors will swiftly establish whether you have a claim for dental negligence. We base this on the facts you tell us and your medical records.

What can go wrong at the dentist?

The types of things that can go wrong when receiving dental treatment include:

  • Failure to ensure the client is made aware of all the procedural and treatment options available to treat their issue
  • Negligently carrying out cosmetic procedures such as fitting crowns or bridges
  • Misdiagnosed or untreated gum disease
  • Inadequate root canal treatment
  • Being given too much anaesthetic or not enough
  • Failure to provide adequate after-care
  • Failure to diagnose oral cancer
  • Incorrectly treating or failing to treat tooth decay

How to prove dental negligence

To prove dental negligence, we may need to see your dental records, x-rays and organise for you to be examined by another dentist who can evaluate the damage you have received and then work out a treatment programme to fix it.

Your dental records will outline the diagnosis, course of treatment and procedures performed. Our dental negligence lawyers can also call on expert witnesses to testify that your dentist’s level of care fell below an acceptable standard.
