Dental Negligence Claims

About Dental Negligence

When it comes to dental negligence claims there are often two questions that people have: Can I make a claim? and; Should I make a claim? Negligence can seem like such a strong word but if you’ve been to a dentist and left with a pain or mouth injury then you may have been provided with a sub-standard service and can make a claim.

A dentist or dental technician is a member of the medical profession and as such has a duty to treat you appropriately and accurately, if they do not and leave you worse off than when you went in, you can make a dental negligence claim for compensation.

Like medical negligence, dental negligence claims can be based on a variety of negligent incidents, these include:

- The wrong dental procedure

- Sub-standard medical care

- A wrong, missed or delayed diagnosis

- Not advising you enough about a treatment
