Samantha Swaby acted for a client who received £3,000, following the unnecessary extraction of her lower left second molar. The Client attended her dentist complaining of toothache and sensitivity and the dentist extracted her tooth that day. A couple of days later, the client was still experiencing pain and sensitivity.

The dentist restored this particular tooth and the client’s symptoms resolved. The client then became aware that the tooth that was extracted was not the source of her pain and should not have been removed.
