What’s “Duty of Care”?
Dental and orthodontic practitioners and surgeons owe the same duty of care as any other medical professional. They must exercise reasonable skill and care in providing treatment and advice to their patients.
We have extensive experience and we specialise in bringing claims for patients who’ve suffered dental injuries as a result of the failure of their dental practitioner or surgeon to exercise reasonable skill and care, resulting in breach of their duty of care. If you believe you’ve received dental or orthodontic treatment that was negligent, unreasonably delayed or simply incorrect, you can speak to one of our specialist medical negligence lawyers and get advice about what to do. It’s a free call, so it makes sense to get legal advice.
Do I have a claim?
Claims for negligent dental or orthodontic treatment can be based on a range of issues and arise out of treatments and conditions such as:
- Dental extractions.
- Endodontic procedures.
- Dental implants.
- Substandard crown and bridge treatment.
- Management of periodontal disease.
- Orthodontics.
- Dental anesthesia complications.
- Dental injections.
- Adverse drug reactions.
- TMJ and orthognathic surgeries.
- Oral cancer.
