Wrong Dental Treatment and Wrong Tooth Removal Claims

Claim compensation for negligent dental treatment or the wrongful removal of a tooth.

If you have undergone the wrong dental treatment, or had the wrong tooth removed, you may be entitled to claim compensation. At PSR Solicitors, we help clients pursue wrong dental treatment claims and wrong tooth removal claims where negligent dental care has left them in a worse position than before treatment began.

Having the wrong procedure carried out, or losing a healthy tooth unnecessarily, can have serious and lasting consequences. These mistakes may leave you in pain, facing further treatment, and dealing with the impact of an error that should never have happened. Where dental treatment is carried out on the wrong tooth, based on the wrong diagnosis, or without proper care and attention, it may amount to dental negligence.

We act for clients across England and Wales and are proud to be a Lexcel accredited law firm, recognised by the Law Society for excellence in legal practice and client care. We are committed to providing straightforward advice, strong legal representation and personal support at every stage of your claim.

Our specialist solicitors can advise whether you have grounds to make a claim, explain your options clearly, and help you take the first step towards recovering compensation. Call the number at the top of this page to speak to our team.

Understanding Wrong Dental Treatment

Wrong dental treatment claims arise where a dentist carries out treatment that should not have taken place, or removes a tooth that should have been preserved. In both situations, the patient may be left in a worse position than before, particularly if the original problem remains unresolved or a healthy tooth has been affected.

A successful claim will usually depend on whether the treatment fell below an acceptable professional standard and whether that failure caused harm that could have been avoided.

Grounds to pursue a wrong dental treatment or wrong tooth removal claim may include

Extraction of the wrong tooth
Unnecessary removal of a tooth that could have been treated or preserved
Carrying out the wrong dental procedure
Treatment performed on the wrong tooth or wrong area of the mouth
Failure to diagnose the true cause of the problem before treatment
Poor treatment planning leading to inappropriate or avoidable treatment
Failure to obtain informed consent for the treatment carried out
Avoidable damage to healthy teeth, gums or surrounding structures
The need for further corrective dental treatment because the wrong procedure was carried out
Ongoing pain, complications or loss caused by negligent dental treatment

If wrong dental treatment has left you coping with the loss of a healthy tooth, avoidable pain, or the need for corrective work, our specialist solicitors can advise whether you have grounds to pursue compensation.

Common Causes of Wrong Dental Treatment and Wrong Tooth Removal

These claims often arise because something has gone wrong before treatment even begins. The problem may stem from a poor assessment, a mistaken diagnosis, or a failure to identify the correct tooth before the procedure goes ahead. In some cases, a patient is placed on the wrong course of treatment from the outset and only discovers the mistake once the damage has already been done.

There are also cases where the procedure itself is carried out on the wrong site because basic checks were not carried out properly. That can mean a healthy tooth is removed while the underlying issue is left untreated. Our specialist solicitors can assess how the error occurred, whether the care fell below an acceptable professional standard, and whether you have grounds to pursue compensation. If you would like to discuss what has happened, call the number at the top of this page for clear, practical advice.
