£70,000 awarded for undiagnosed periodontal disease

Katie Parr acted for a 49 year old man, who received £70,000 for the failure to diagnose and treat aggressive periodontal disease from 1985 until 2012.

The client was a regular attender and during his treatment with the Defendant lost 16 teeth. In August 2012, the client attended an implant specialist to consider implant replacement for his lost teeth. During this appointment the client’s periodontal condition was diagnosed and he was referred to a periodontal specialist. The client was advised that he would not have lost his teeth, had his aggressive periodontal disease been diagnosed and treated by the Defendant
