Dental Negligence Scotland - Compensation Claims

What are Dental Negligence Claims?

How Can Dental Negligence Scotland Help?

Our specialist team can represent individuals in the following scenarios if a dental injury has been sustained:

• Misdiagnosis and/or lack of treatment
• Careless treatment resulting in injury or the need for corrective treatment
• Errors in the administration of medication resulting in side effects
• Swallowed instrument

There are other situations involving dental negligence where Prolegal can assist, including:

• Failure to offer root canal treatment as opposed to extraction
• Incorrect anaesthesia
• Nerve damage
• Inappropriate extraction
• Failure to diagnose and treat gum disease

In What Circumstances Can I Sue My Dentist?

Dentists are obliged to inform patients of all treatment options available to them and gain their consent. In the event that a patient is not informed of all treatment options available there may be a potential claim for compensation if harm has been done. A common example of this would be where an extraction was made where a filling or root canal could be possible

Patients are not entitled to compensation when dental treatment fails to meet their expectations, what needs to be shown is a substandard level of care that has led to a worse outcome. Our team of experts work closely with the General Dental Council for guidance.
