What is dental negligence?

Dental negligence represents a subcategory of medical negligence. It transpires when dental professionals deliver care that deviates from the accepted standards, culminating in avoidable harm to the patient.

Our solicitors lend their deep-rooted expertise to comprehend the distinct aspects of each case, providing personalized, strategic advice tailored to your unique circumstance.

How do you deal with dental negligence?

Confronting dental negligence involves a structured approach encompassing various steps. First, it’s imperative to acquire all relevant dental records and collate evidence that substantiates the claim of negligence. Then, a meticulous comparison of the received treatment with standard practices must be undertaken to underline the discrepancies and establish a robust case. The expertise of dental experts may also be enlisted to validate claims. At Berwick Solicitors, we immerse ourselves in every case, aligning our strategies with the specifics of your situation and ensuring your claim is substantiated by irrefutable evidence.
