Shannons Solicitors, Swords are involved in several dental malpractice claims where clients
have suffered dental injuries such as wisdom tooth injuries, root canal, fillings, crowns,
bridges and periodontal disease.
In a recent case a woman won €255,000 compensation for agony she suffered as a result of a
dental procedure.
Due to the dentist’s negligence the woman’s life and lifestyle had been diminished to an
extraordinary degree.
She first sought treatment for a loose crown which had been applied to one of her upper front
teeth by another dental surgeon.
Her new dentist found she was missing several teeth and was suffering from the gum disease
periodontics.
The Judge found that it was inappropriate to apply braces to the Plaintiff’s upper jaw and to
her lower jaw. The Judge said he was satisfied on the evidence of an expert witness that as
a result of the dentist’s negligence, the Plaintiff’s treatment and recovery had probably been
delayed by about fifteen or twenty years.
If you have suffered any injuries as a result of dental negligence please contact Vincent
Shannon or Tim Shannon immediately to discuss your case to see if you have suffered
