This February, we are focusing on children’s dentistry and the consequences that dental negligence can have on younger patients. We’re using this month as an important opportunity to highlight safe and appropriate dental care for children and what happens when those standards are not met.

As dental treatments continue to evolve, we expect several trends to shape our dental negligence enquiries in 2026. In this blog we share our insights and what we think will shape dental negligece claims this year, based on recent industry reports, dental complaints data and developments we’ve seen within our own claims data across all types of dental negligence cases.

In this blog we explore our firm The Dental Law Partnership’s progress and developments in 2025, exploring how we have continued to strengthen our specialist dental negligence services, invest in our teams, and enhance our client care, whilst maintaining our ongoing commitment to supporting patients across the UK.
