Effects of Dental Injury

The symptoms and effects of dental injuries can be very painful. they can range from toothache to Nerve Damage and loss of senses and in certain instances can be even more severe and even result in fatalities in complex procedures where mouth surgery and general anaesthetic is used

Some of the more immediate visible effects of dental injuries which may well lead you to believe that something is not right could include facial swelling, a fever, or pus draining from the gums

Can I claim compensation as part of a Dental Malpractice Claim?

You don't have to be the person directly affected by dental malpractice in order to make a claim. Third parties including family and close friends often have a case too.

The financial compensation for a dental injury can be substantial, in recognition of how damaging such cases can be, and the length of time it can take to recover, age of the victim and also the victim’s ability to communicate.

Here at Grieves Solicitors, we can help you from the very first with general guidance and professional legal advice so that you understand the compensation claim process and whether it is the right decision for you to pursue a claim.

How much compensation can I expect?

Each financial settlement is different and depends on varying factors as to how much you are entitled to claim for a financial pay-out. Factors that affect the final settlement amount include:

• Age of the victim
• The victim’s ability to communicate
• Contributory negligence
• Dental history

Average guidelines for dental compensation amounts are as follows:

• Loss of one front tooth: £2,000
• Loss of one back tooth: £1,000
• Loss of two or more front teeth: £4,000 - £ 12,000
• Loss of two or more back teeth: £2,000 - £7,000
