Hundreds of the former patients of Mr D’Mello who our specialist Daybrook Dental Negligence Team are now fighting for have had their say as former patients of the man the media have labelled the ‘Dirty Dentist’ – and the stuff we hear is nearly always the same.

One recurring statement from those we now act for is that dental equipment and instruments were often laid out in ready for their appointments; something we now know was down to failing to sterilise instruments properly, or at all.

The original figure for the recall was 22,000 patients of the former Daybrook Dental Surgery Practice who were under the care of disgraced Nottinghamshire dentist Mr Desmond D’Mello. We’re told that thousands of them have reached out for help using the dedicated advice line, and we’re advised that thousands have been to the Arnold Health Centre for testing and help as well.

Our claims helpline has been extremely busy over the last few weeks since we initiated our campaign to fight for justice for those affected by the scandal as former patients of D’Mello.

The activities of Desmond D’Mello, who was operating from the Daybrook Dental Surgery in Nottinghamshire, were secretly filmed by a whistleblower as evidence that he was ignoring important infection control procedures.

Hundreds were filmed, and the damning footage caught D’Mello red handed as he reused gloves, failed to wash his hands, and even used unsterlised equipment.

For some who were filmed, the concern has been even greater for them.

We’ve blogged a fair bit about the effect that the Daybrook scandal has had on former patients who are now claiming with The Injury Lawyers specialist Daybrook Dental Team. Hundreds of our clients have had their say, and they have given us a valuable insight in to what it was like as a patient of the media dubbed ‘Dirty Dentist’ and we’re hearing the same things time and time again.

One thing that is profoundly evident though is just how well liked he was in the local community.

We now know that Mr D’Mello had been stopped from practicing whilst investigations commenced in to evidence that was brought to light from a whistleblower indicating extreme and serious breaches of NHS infection control procedures. It seems that, perhaps for years now, D’Mello had been putting his patients lives and wellbeing at risk through reusing gloves, not washing his hands, and using unsterlised equipment.

Of the hundreds of clients we act for that have had their say about their experiences, we’ve heard from many who happened to have appointments in the June to October period, and we have been given an insight in to what people were told.

The reason as to why Nottinghamshire dentist Mr Desmond D’Mello decided to turn his back on his patents and his community, and put their health and lives at risk, still remains a mystery. To date, no reason has been actually given, and we can only speculate based on the evidence and experiences of the hundreds of former patients who have had their say as clients of our Daybrook Dental Team.

There is one popular running theory though – and this article is here to explain it.

A common phrase people have used so far is expressing how physically sick and ill the whole thing has made them feel.

Hundreds of former patients who we are now acting for have had their say on their experiences as patients of the Nottinghamshire dentist Desmnd D’Mello, who was struck off this year after a whistle blower secretly filmed him breaching important infection control procedures.

Of the many who have had their say, they all share very similar stories and memories. The trends are appearing and we’re building a picture of what he was like as a dentist and a businessman. For those who have had appointments in the post-D’Mello era, we’re getting reports of a very different dental practice at Daybrook.

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.
