However, dentists fall under the healthcare banner, and they owe you a duty of care too. Therefore, if your dentist makes a negligent mistake and you have suffered preventable harm as a consequence, there may be the basis for a claim. Some examples of this could include a dentist extracting the wrong tooth, unnecessary nerve damage during dental surgery, failing to pick up on symptoms of a dental problem allowing it to worsen, and damaging a healthy tooth while extracting another.

Birth Injuries

If making a claim, not only may you be able to claim for the physical injuries but you could also claim for the emotional trauma too. Not noticing that the baby is in distress which leads to hypoxia or performing a C-section incorrectly causing internal damage could be considered as birth injury negligence.
