What are the signs that my teeth whitening has gone wrong?

When tooth whitening goes wrong as a result of negligence on the part of the dentist or the dental surgery, you may experience some of the below symptoms:

Sensitive teeth: Due to the strength of the bleaching chemicals used in tooth whitening, if left on too long or applied incorrectly then there is a risk that the enamel of your teeth can become eroded. This will lead to painful sensitivity in the teeth, especially when irritated by cold, hot, or sweet food and drink

Chemical burns: Chemicals used for teeth whitening, such as carbamide peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and malic acid can react dangerously in the mouth if applied incorrectly, and lead to severe chemical burns

Over-bleached teeth: The concentrations of bleaching chemicals involved in tooth whitening are highly significant. Even slight miscalculations can lead to an over-bleached effect, indicated by extremely bright teeth

Can I make a claim against a retired dentist?

If your negligent tooth extraction procedure was performed by a dentist that has now retired, you are still able to make a claim against them, as long as you are within the legal time frame. This is normally three years from the date of the treatment, or three years from the date you became aware that the treatment you had was below the standard it should have been.

By law, all dentists must be registered with the General Dental Council (GDC), and must also ensure they have appropriate indemnity and insurance arrangements in place. This allows patients to seek any compensation they may be entitled to, following a case of negligent treatment.

Therefore, even after a dentist retires, they will still be responsible for the treatment which was carried out when they were practising before retirement.

How can we help with your tooth extraction compensation claim?

Our team of experienced, compassionate solicitors are here to help you claim the financial reward you deserve following a negligent tooth extraction procedure.

The compensation you receive can go some way to addressing any physical or emotional distress you have experienced, and it can also help to pay for any corrective procedures or psychological help that you may need. As well as this, a successful claim will help to prevent future patients from suffering in the same way you have, at the hands of the negligent clinic or practitioner.
