Dental Injury Claims

Seeing a dentist is naturally stressful for some people – so imagine the stress caused when a normal visit is ruined due to the dentist’s lack of care.

Failures to properly deliver the right dental treatment in the right way during a check-up or surgery can result in injuries to your teeth or gums. If you’ve experienced a substandard level of dental care, and suffered as a consequence, you can claim compensation for the financial loss and emotional distress caused.

Dental Claims

Dental claims can be made according to the type of injury or medical neglect you have suffered.

Some of the most common types of dental claims include for:

Misdiagnosis – This is the failure to spot a dental issue or injury which then worsens.
Wrongful handling of drugs – This is when a patient is given an incorrect drug dosage, a drug is not administered correctly or a patient’s allergy is not duly noted in the patient notes before the drug is given.
Careless work – This is the failure to complete dental work to a sufficiently high standard.
Accidental swallowing of instruments – This is when dental tools are not secured properly and subsequently fall down the patient’s throat.

Dental negligence claims take many forms, including for a retained root during a tooth extraction, ill-advised crowns and bridgework, failed dental implants, lingual nerve injury, and gum disease.
