During my career at the Dental Law Partnership, I have worked on many notable cases. Two of my most recent cases that stand out are:

• Mr Grundy – In 2022, Mr Grundy was awarded £10,500 compensation from his former dentist after a dental negligence claim was brought forward by the Dental Law Partnership. The claimant underwent years of needless treatment as a teenager after a poor dental consultation, which led to further issues developing. The distress involved was entirely unnecessary, so the claimant and his mother were understandably happy to reach an out-of-court settlement of £10,500.

• Ms Matthews – Ms Matthews suffered from dental negligence from childhood through to her adult life. As a child, her dentist failed to diagnose and treat tooth decay, leading to both physical and psychological trauma in later life. The Dental Law Partnership took on Ms Matthews’ case in 2020 – whilst liability was denied, the defendant settled the case in 2022 with the claimant for £20,000.
