Dental Negligence

Chattering teeth

Having dental treatment can be an unnerving experience. Despite high standards there are thousands of examples each year of people suffering both physically and mentally from experiences in the dentists chair.

Dental negligence

Unfortunately dentists are not infallible. They make mistakes and side effects can occur from dental treatment which in some cases is unavoidable.

 

Furthermore unlike other professions dentists can not undo many of the errors that are made.   Once a tooth is removed there is no turning back. Once teeth are damaged due to a lack of skill or care they may never be the same again.

 

The Dental Negligence Team at Hugh James is experienced in investigating whether such damage and side effects are unfortunate or whether they have occurred through negligence.

 

In recent years many more claims have been brought in respect of sub-standard dental treatment, whether the treatment was provided privately or on the NHS.

 

Common causes of dental negligence include:

 

  • Failure to diagnose longstanding periodontal (gum) disease
  • Negligently installed bridgework and crowns
  • Inappropriate root canal treatments
  • Extraction of the wrong tooth
