Dental Negligence Claims
Dental Negligence claims – trusting your dentist to do a good job
As with all health care professionals, when you visit your dentist you trust that they will provide a safe, painless and medically accurate service, whether it’s a simple check up or treatment for a gum or tooth problem. In the majority of cases, this reliance is well placed and the dentist will perform to a high standard. However, this is not always the case and every year thousands of people suffer pain and distress as a result of dental negligence.
What is dental negligence?
It is your dentist’s duty as a medical professional to provide a correct and reliable service in a professional manner. If your dentist neglects this duty of care and delivers a low standard of treatment that results in personal injury, you may be entitled to make a dental negligence claim.
As with all medical procedures, dentistry is a complex field, which means that things can go wrong. Whether your dentist has failed to treat a problem properly, given a misdiagnosis or provided inadequate treatment which has left you in pain or suffering, there are many situations which may entitle you to pursue a compensation claim for dental negligence.
In order to make a successful dental negligence claim, it is essential to be able to prove that the lack of care received would not be that which you would expect from a responsible and competent member of the dental profession. To prove this you may need the expert help of a specialist solicitor like Pannone.
