Dental Complaints:

A complaint is generally a statement of dissatisfaction. People usually make a complaint in the hope that the issue is resolved. In respect of dental complaints, a person may be unsatisfied about the services provided by a dentist, dental assistance or other persons working at the dentist’s practice.  

There are several reasons a person may make a dental complaint, including but not limited to:

• Professional misconduct;
• Negligence in the performance of their duties;
• Hygiene concerns about the dentist or dental practice;
• Misdiagnosis of disease;
• The use of incorrect treatment and/or surgeries;
• Inappropriate relationships with patient; and
• Injuries sustained from dental procedures.

If you have a complaint about a dentist or a person(s) working in the dental practice it is recommended you speak with a Medical Lawyer. Our Sydney Medical Lawyers can discuss any concerns you have, advise on options available with respect to your complaint and your prospects of success, can assist in preparing a complaint on your behalf and provide legal representation.
