WHAT IS DENTAL NEGLIGENCE?
Dental Malpractice Claims. Dental malpractice, also known as dental negligence, is defined as an avoidable injury caused by a dentist who fails to provide adequate care. A dental negligence compensation claim can be filed in any case where a dentist performs poorly, negligently, or inappropriately, causing avoidable harm to a patient.
Dental Malpractice Claims are a type of clinical negligence claim. A dental claim, like a clinical negligence claim, can be made if you have suffered any type of personal injury as a result of a dentist’s negligent work, including psychological suffering or financial loss as well as physical harm.
TYPES OF DENTAL CLAIM
Over the last year, nearly 16,000 cases of clinical negligence have been registered with the Compensation Recovery Unit alone. If you’re wondering what constitutes dental negligence or malpractice in the United Kingdom, consider the examples below. If you experienced any of the following, you may be able to make dental malpractice claims:
- Incorrect diagnosis because of false positive results or even technical errors
- Failure to refer to a specialist when the case is beyond the scope of a dentist’s expertise, resulting in mistreatment.
- Incorrect treatment period calculation and, in some cases, delayed treatment
- Wrong tooth diagnosis and treatment, as in the case of a wrong tooth root canal
- Wrong tooth diagnosis and treatment, as in the case of a wrong tooth root canal
- Failure to follow standard treatment protocols
- Failure to treat a damaged tooth properly.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO SUE MY DENTIST?
You may be able to make a compensation claim against your dentist, whether they are an NHS or private provider, if they have caused you harm due to negligent treatment. Contact us for a free initial consultation so that we can determine whether you have a case and how much compensation you are entitled to. Because there are time limits for filing negligence claims, it is best to begin your claim as soon as possible.
WHAT ARE THE TIME LIMITS FOR MAKING A DENTAL NEGLIGENCE CLAIM?
In most cases, you must make dental malpractice claims within three years of discovering that you may have received negligent treatment. You will be unable to file a claim after three years have passed.
There are some exceptions to this time limit, however, such as:
There is no time limit for filing a claim on behalf of a child until the child reaches the age of 18. The three-year rule applies after the age of 18.
There is no time limit for making a claim if you are claiming on behalf of someone who lacks the mental capacity to do so on their own.
WHY MAKE A DENTAL NEGLIGENCE CLAIM?
When you seek dental advice or treatment, you are putting your trust in the professional who is treating you. If they betray your trust and your symptoms worsen due to inaction or error, you may have grounds for a dental negligence claim.
Pain is caused by dental negligence. And it can leave you unable to go about your daily life; in some cases, your injuries may be life changing. To keep you safe, all dental professionals have a legal “duty of care.” This is their obligation to you – to take reasonable precautions to avoid causing you harm.
Making a dental negligence claim can be intimidating, but we’ve seen how much of a difference it can make in people’s lives. It can provide you with the financial assistance you require during your recovery and assist you in receiving the simple apology you deserve.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY COMPENSATION?
A dental negligence claim can take anywhere from a few months to a few years to resolve (depending on the severity of your injury and whether or not your NHS or private dentist accepts responsibility). Most cases are settled quickly, but more complicated cases involving larger claims may take longer.
