Whether it's down to the decaying services being provided by the UK's National Health Service (NHS) or because more of us are aware of the benefits of dental surgery, what is indisputable is that there are more compensation cases for dental negligence than at any other time in our history.

Holiday In Wales So, if you have been on the wrong end of a particularly nasty piece of dental surgery recently, how would you go about making a dental negligence claim?

Discount Dental Plans An Alternative to Dental Insurance Discount dental plans, although not a dental insurance product, provide individuals, families, businesses and other groups with an invaluable dental benefit. Discount dental plans are an alternative to dental insurance that provide plan members with discounts on most dental services with a strong emphasis on preventive procedures. Discount dental plan members pay a low membership fee for the year for access to an extensive network of participating dentists and dental specialists that provide deep discounts on dental care at the time of service.

Cottage Holiday In Wales Even though some experts will tell you that the standard for establishing a claim of negligence involving dental surgery is easier than in other areas of medical negligence. There are less things that can go wrong in dental surgery than in hospital surgery, this is still a very technical area of personal injury law.

Camping Holiday Wales In the event that you cannot afford a compensation solicitor, don't worry too much about this as most dental negligence solicitors these days are more than willing to agree to work for you on a no win no fee basis.

Establishing Who To Sue

Catering Holiday Self Wales At your preliminary meeting with your dental negligence solicitor you'll need to determine who you are going to sue. As, in the UK, we have a dual system of dental care, between the private sector and the public sector, with many dentists practicing in both. Before you can submit your dental negligence claim you need to establish whether you saw the dentist in the capacity of a patient under the NHS system, or as a private patient of the dentist.

Holiday Wales Walking In the event that you saw the dentist as a private patient, then in all likelihood you will not be suing the dentist for compensation, but rather the dentist's insurance company! On the other hand, if you were visiting the dentist as a patient under the NHS system, then, again, you would not be suing the dentist for negligent compensation, but the NHS itself.

Standard Of Care

Holiday Riding Wales Generally the accepted reasoning is that dentistry is a 'tried-and-tested' profession where things can only go wrong if the practitioner has made a mistake. Nonetheless, as with all personal injury claims in the UK, you will need to establish that the dentist owed you a duty of care and was not diligent in undertaking his duties.

Adventure Holiday Wales In this regard, so far as dental negligence is concerned, any dental negligence claim will need to show that the dentist did not exercise the professional standards set by the British Dental Association and/or the Dental Practice Board.

It's Your Right - Claim It!

Cottage Holiday Wales You may feel that a claim for dental negligence compensation is a little trite - after all, it's not the end of the world! However, keep in mind two factors:
