Tooth Extraction Injury Claims & Wrong Tooth Extraction Claims

Tooth extractions are not the most pleasant of experiences. They can be extremely uncomfortable and many of us dread the thought of having a tooth removed. Although most tooth extractions go smoothly and without any complications, occasionally problems can arise making the whole experience even more frustrating.

There are many things that can go wrong during the procedure. From the wrong tooth getting extracted to improper techniques being used, if you end up in more pain than necessary you could be entitled to compensation.

Nerve Damage is also a common problem that injured people face where tooth extraction has unwanted consequences and the effects of oral nerve injury can be particularly upsetting and unfortunately permanent.

How much you are entitled to depends entirely on the severity of your injury and suffering. Regardless, even the smallest of procedures not going according to plan could result in you being entitled to monetary compensation.

Tooth Extraction Explained

Although it’s a popular procedure that’s performed on many people on a daily basis, things can occasionally go wrong. If the wrong tooth is extracted, for example, you could be entitled to compensation. Although, the amount you are entitled to expect is determined on a case to case basis, if you have experienced unnecessary suffering due to tooth extraction negligence, you will likely be entitled to something.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Claims

Wisdom teeth are known for causing a range of dental problems that can vary in severity. Whilst some are quite small and rather easy to fix, others are more serious and require invasive treatments.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction is one of the most common treatments for wisdom tooth related problems. It involves the affected tooth, or teeth, being extracted from your jaw to eliminate the cause of discomfort. Depending on the severity of your problem, the process may require local anaesthetic, and occasionally even stiches.

Nerve Injury is always a risk with Wisdom Tooth Extraction due to the proximity of the inferior alveolar nerve in relation to wisdom teeth, generally, such risks would be discussed by the dentist performing the extraction. In particularly severe cases of personal injury surrounding wisdom tooth extraction we have seen people with broken Jaws over the years.

Preventing Tooth Extraction

There are many steps that can be taken to prevent tooth extraction in the first place. Getting into the routine of keeping your mouth clean and brushing your teeth daily, is one of the easiest ways of preventing tooth damage and decay.

It’s also recommended that you have regular check-ups with your dentist in order to catch any problems as early as possible and prevent them from worsening.

High sugar intake is one of the leading causes of tooth decay so limiting yourself to smaller doses of it can greatly improve your dental health.
