Compensation for dental injuries

Every year people are injured following negligent treatment by their dentist or dental practitioner. These injuries can often leave patients in a lot of pain and with traumatising memories of the experience. If you have been injured as a result of dental treatment through the NHS or as a private patient, you may be able to claim compensation.

At Nelsons, our team of medical negligence solicitors are experienced in dealing with claims for compensation following negligent dental treatment. We have an excellent track record of securing compensation and every year we consistently recover large amounts of compensation on behalf of people injured by dental negligence throughout the UK.
