One of my teeth fractured so I made an appointment with Dr Cox.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’He placed a filling and I thought that would be the end of it.

It seemed to do the trick so I didn’t think much more of it.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’I continued to have regular check-ups, including with Dr Jesuthasan.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’But, in 2016, I suddenly had excruciating toothache. I remember being up all night in agony.
The pain was just throbbing.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’So I saw Dr Fitzgerald who placed what I thought would be a permanent filling, but it was actually only a temporary filling for some reason.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’It didn’t really resolve my problems and I was back in the dentist’s chair having yet more fillings only a couple of months later.'</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>It was then that Johanna sought a second opinion – and was apparently confronted with the upsetting truth.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>She said: ‘It’s unbelievable really.

I’ve been through all this just because the dentists weren’t doing their jobs properly.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’I only wish I’d got a second opinion sooner. I still suffer from toothache now, 신촌 치과 and it often hurts when I eat.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’There is always this dull pain that just doesn’t feel right.
Then of course, there is the gap where my lost tooth used to be.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’I am an absolute nervous wreck before seeing the dentist now, I panic before appointments.'</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>Dean Mohring, of the Dental Law Partnership, 신촌역 치과 said: ‘The distress and pain our client has experienced was completely unnecessary.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>’If the dentists had undertaken the correct treatment in the first place, all her problems could have been avoided.'</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>The Dental Law Partnership took on Johanna’s case in 2018.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>It was successfully settled in 2020 when the dentists paid £5,000 in an out of court settlement, without admitting liability.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>The legal firm said that analysis of Johanna’s dental records revealed that the dentists had consistently failed to spot and treat decay that was clearly visible in X-rays taken as far back as 2011.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>This led to the majority of the problems she experienced including her tooth fracturing, infections and 신촌 치과 the loss of her tooth.</p><p class=”mol-para-with-font”>Inadequate restoration work was also performed, the Dental Law Partnership said. </p></div>
