Dental Negligence
There are many different types of dental negligence these can be painful and embarrsing to the injured party. Unfortunatley, some dentists occasionally undertake dental treatments that exceed their training and capabilities, leading to severe repercussions for their patients. It is crucial to ensure that the dentist you choose possesses the appropriate training and expertise for your specific dental needs.
In recent years, the number of dental negligence cases in the UK has surged and we at Advantage Solicitors have represented many clients that have been subjected to such negligence.
To establish a dental malpractice case, the dental care provider must have engaged in an action that no reasonable and prudent oral healthcare provider would have undertaken, resulting in severe injury. Moreover, a dentist must secure your informed consent before initiating any treatment.
Dental negligence can occur in various ways, such as dentists neglecting to address oral cancers and cysts, improper use of analgesics, anesthetics, antibiotics, and sedatives, among other scenarios.
Some of the most prevalent dental negligence cases that necessitate the services are as follows:
- Facial paralysis
- Prescription drug errors
- Surgical errors related to dental procedures
- Errors in performing root canals
- Prolonged and persistent pain
- Lifelong disabilities
- Diverse infections
- Injuries affecting the tongue, jaw, chin, and lips
- Loss of sensation or taste
- Wrongful death arising from dental procedures or oral surgery
- Applying a mouthguard incorrectly
