If your treatment at a Dental surgery has fallen below a reasonable level we can help you with a complaint against your dentist and you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
Dental experts are subject to the same duty of care as all health providers and the mistakes of a small minority may lead to significant harm. Whether your treatment was private or NHS or the reason for the work was medical or cosmetic you may have a claim.
Examples of potential dental claims would include
- Incorrect decision of the correct treatment offered such as removal of teeth
- Delay in treating a condition such as infection which can often make the problem worse
- Failing to x-ray at an early stage to determine what may be the cause of your problem
- Failing to correctly interpret an x-ray and act upon it
- Nerve damage caused by negligent treatment
