“Dental Negligence caused years of pain” Asons Solicitors comment on the prevalence of poor patient care
Bolton, UK (PRWEB UK) 19 September 2013 -- According to ‘This is Grimsby,’ Darren Aldous, aged 42, was left in intense pain for years, after allegedly receiving poor patient care from Grimsby Medimatch Dental Practice (1). With the prevalence of dental negligence an on-going concern, it is crucial that incidents of poor patient care don’t become common place.
Dockworker and single parent, Darren Aldous, claims there was a repeated failure to diagnose and treat his deep-rooted tooth decay. Consequently, he has had to have crowns fitted, a treatment that could allegedly been avoided had his tooth decay been treated (1).
Describing the way he was treated, Mr Aldous, made the following statement to the Grimsby Telegraph:
“I'd had enough. It felt like appointment after appointment and an endless list of treatments, meaning I had to take a lot of time off work for dental appointments, which was hard because I'm a single parent.
"I knew I needed a second opinion. I remained in constant pain and had been for over two years. My teeth were in such a bad condition, my confidence plummeted and I had bad anxiety during this time."
Continued pain and ineffective treatments caused Mr Aldous to seek a second opinion; after registering at a different practice, his new dentist found extensive decay in several teeth (1).
Considering the circumstances, Asons Executive, Suzanne Yates:
“At Asons Solicitors, we frequently see incidents of dental negligence, where patients have suffered in pain, as a direct result of poor patient care. We need to hold dentists to the same standards all other medical professionals are held to.
“Allegedly, Mr Aldous needlessly suffered for over two years in total, and this is simply unacceptable(1). Dentists have the same responsibilities as doctors, yet the public are often unaware that dental negligence is a form of medical negligence, and that a dental negligence claim can be made.”
