I had toothache and went to a new dentist. He took x-rays and said the tooth had to come out there and then. From that day 12 months ago I’ve been in absolute agony. I’ve been to see several consultants and I’ve now been told that the pain has been caused by the way the tooth was pulled. I’ve had to cancel a holiday and they say it will be nine months before I’m free from pain.
You need to see a solicitor specialising in clinical negligence claims. The solicitor will obtain medical evidence to back up the consultant’s opinion, and if negligence can be established you will have the basis for a successful claim against the dentist. This will include compensation for your pain and suffering and your cancelled holiday. It’s likely that the dentist will be insured against such claims.
