Dental Negligence Solicitors Dublin

Dental treatment should improve your oral health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, mistakes made by dentists and other dental professionals can result in pain, infection, nerve damage, unnecessary procedures, and costly corrective treatment. If you have suffered injury due to substandard dental care, you may be entitled to make a dental negligence claim.

What Is Dental Negligence?

Dental negligence occurs when a dentist or dental practitioner fails to provide treatment that meets accepted professional standards, causing injury or avoidable complications.

Not every unsuccessful dental procedure amounts to negligence. However, where a preventable error causes harm, legal action may be possible.

Common Examples of Dental Negligence

Dental negligence can arise from:

Incorrect diagnosis of dental conditions
Delayed diagnosis of infection or disease
Poorly performed extractions
Root canal treatment errors
Dental implant mistakes
Nerve damage during treatment
Failure to obtain informed consent
Unnecessary dental procedures
Inadequate infection control measures

These issues can result in significant pain, permanent damage, or the need for extensive corrective treatment.

Effects of Dental Negligence

This negligence may lead to:

Chronic pain
Nerve injury or numbness
Infection
Tooth loss
Difficulties eating or speaking
Corrective dental procedures
Psychological distress and loss of confidence
The impact can affect both your health and quality of life.

What Compensation can be Claimed?

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:
Pain and suffering
Corrective dental treatment costs
Medical expenses
Loss of earnings
Future treatment requirements
Psychological injury arising from the negligence

Each case is unique and compensation will depend on the extent of the injury and losses suffered.

* In contentious business a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
