If you believe you have been subject to dental malpractice, first try to resolve your complaint directly with a dentist or dental practice. ‌Your complaint should be directed to the practice manager at the dental surgery. There are several ways to complain, including writing, emailing, and‌ ‌speaking‌ ‌to‌ ‌someone.
You can also contact NHS England, which is responsible for NHS dental services, if you prefer not to go directly to the practice.
In the event that you have been injured by a dentist, it is important to understand that you won’t be suing the NHS as an organisation. You will be bringing a claim against the individual dentist involved. Practising dentists all have to hold their own insurance policies by law to cover them in cases like this.
