Types of Dental Injury Claim

If your dentist has made mistakes when treating you or, through their negligence, has caused you further dental problems, or made an issue worse that could have been avoided, you may be eligible to claim compensation.

Dentists have a duty of care to their patients and if you have been let down by a dental professional, you may be able to seek a measure of justice through a dental negligence claim. There are lots of types of treatment or dental procedures that do, in rare cases, go wrong due to the negligence of the dentist performing them. If you have been a victim of this, and have suffered physically, psychologically or financially as a result, you could be able to claim compensation.
