Dental treatment requires considerable skill and good procedures. If such skill is not present, injury and complications can result. Often, a lot of pain is suffered, as well as difficulty chewing and cosmetic alteration. Sometimes, the mistakes can be difficult to reverse. If a tooth or teeth are lost, implants might be proposed as a substitute. However, they scarcely fully replace the natural teeth; as implants need to be replaced during the patient’s life time and can sometimes be difficult to replace.
To prove a case of medical negligence against a dentist or orthodontist, an expert report is required to prove that the healthcare professional breached the duty of care owed to you. That expert must state that the doctor was negligent in the way he treated you, and that the stated injury has arisen as a direct consequence of that negligence. Often, patients don’t know what to do when this situation occurs to them. We at Callanan Murphy Solicitors have many years’ experience in the area of medical negligence claims in Ireland and have dedicated Solicitors who practice in the area.
