If you’re thinking about opening a claim against a dentist who has failed to provide the acceptable standard of care, you might be wondering, ‘What is classed as dental negligence?’ There are lots of different issues that can fall under this category, but crucially, to start a dental negligence claim, you must have directly suffered harm as a result of your dentist failing in their duty of care.

Brushing your teeth is a daily habit that protects one of our most valuable assets—our smile. At The Dental Law Partnership, we don’t just support dental patients who are victims of dental negligence—we champion dental health and patients’ rights because knowledge is power.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is an essential part of your overall well-being. Not only does good oral health make for a bright smile, but it can also help you to prevent diseases caused by poor dental hygiene.
