Whilst we are helping former patients of Mr D’Mello regardless of whether they have had extensive treatment with him or not, former patients who did happen to have extensive work from him are being urged to come forward as soon as possible.
There are serious concerns about the history of treatment and advice provided to former patients of the Nottinghamshire dentist who was struck off earlier in the year when investigations revealed a litany of NHS infection control procedure breaches.
Why are we concerned?
Advice from specialist dental negligence barristers is that Mr D’Mello could be hiding a history of poor advice and incorrect treatment. If he is prepared to ignore such basic things like washing his hands and using unsterilsied equipment, he may well have a history of bad practice in general.
Unfortunately there are trends when it comes to dentists like him and what they get up to. Whilst its early days in to the investigations, we’re advised that we should not be surprised if we find that many people have unduly suffered through negligent treatment.
Alarmingly, most of the victims probably don’t even know they have been given poor treatment.
What are we doing about it?
Our specialist Daybrook Dental Negligence Team are already working 24/7 to help those affected by what has happened. We will be obtaining medical records and we’ll have specialist barristers screen them and identify concerns where necessary.
There is the very real possibility that any former patient who has had extensive treatment and work carried out by Mr D’Mello is at a higher risk of being the victim of negligence without even knowing about it. We’re the leading law firm helping former patients of the media dubbed ‘dirty dentist’ and we’re asking former patients who want out help and advice to reach out to us.
