I am just looking to see if I could be entitled to compensation, its regarding a possible dental negligence claim.
I needed to have teeth removed under general anesthetic, when i had my teeth out in the surgery a piece of equipment broke off and they spent a long time looking for it but couldn’t find it.
The dentist had to bring me out of theatre to send me for an xray to see if they can find it which the medical staff did, then i had to go back in the same day to have it removed.
I think they didnt check the equipment properly or use suitable surgical tools for it to be able to break off, can I claim compensation for medical negligence from the dental practice?
