Dental Negligence Claims

If a dentist or healthcare professional has failed to provide adequate care whilst performing dental work, this could result in a dental negligence claim.

At Truth Legal solicitors in Harrogate, we have dental negligence experts here to help you address your concerns and help you make a claim.

Here are some common types of dental negligence claims:

• Wrong tooth extraction

If your dentist pulls out the wrong tooth, or perhaps more teeth than just the problem tooth, you could make a wrong tooth extraction claim.

• Root canal negligence

If you have suffered a bad or failed root canal treatment due to the procedure not being performed correctly, this can lead to weakened teeth and potential gum infections. We can help you make a root canal negligence claim.

• Dental implants

Many individuals find dental implants are the only option when they have missing teeth. If you have experienced problems following dental implants, this could mean that the procedure was not carried out correctly and you may be able to make a claim.

• Fillings

When a tooth has started to decay, a dental filling may be necessary to prevent further damage to the tooth. However, botched dental fillings can occur when the procedure is not carried out to a satisfactory standard and you may wish to make a claim.

• Nerve Damage

If you have suffered nerve damage after dental work, you may be able to make a negligence claim. Tooth nerve damage or facial nerve damage are particularly common dental surgery errors which can have long-lasting effects.
