Having dental treatment can be an unnerving experience and unfortunately damage and side effects can occur which in some cases are unavoidable. We are experienced in investigating whether such damage and side effects are unfortunate recognised complications or whether they have occurred through negligence. Such as in the case of one client whose tongue was left partially numb following the extraction of a wisdom tooth. Initial investigations showed suggested that the damage from the operation seemed to have may just have been been unfortunate, but further inquiries revealed that the team became suspicious as to how this this particular nerve damage was not a recognised complication. We particular nerve part had been severed and successfully proved that the damage to the our client's tongue had been avoidable.
Another case involved a client whose dentist failed to recognise her serious dental disease. Mrs H made at least 20 visits to her Preston dentist between over a two year period 1990 and 1992. She complained of persistent pain, but the dentist continued with the a course of treatment which ignored the underlying condition destroying the bone in which teeth were fixed.
Only when Mrs H sought a second opinion was her serious condition correctly diagnosed. She urgently needed urgent treatment at Manchester University Dental Hospital, and has been left with permanent injuries which were caused by the dentist's negligence. All her teeth were damaged, and our independent experts have told confirmed that her most of her teeth will would be lost. The teeth have become loose as bone around them has been lost. Restorative dentistry needed required by Mrs H is was unavailable on the NHS and will it was cost an estimated that this would cost £17,000. Mrs H sought damages for the pain she had endured and the distress she suffered because due to her disfiguring condition is disfiguring, and she . Mrs H recovered damages totalling more than £230,000.
