Assessment of dental treatment errors

If you suspect a dental treatment error, an objective assessment of the dental treatment at issue can be carried out by the Dental Association of North Rhine to enable the parties involved to reach an amicable settlement. The procedure is therefore carried out as a special dispute settlement procedure.

Please note, however, that the examination only extends to dental treatment errors and that the North Rhine Dental Association cannot evaluate any errors in clarification and other liability requirements. A decision about any claims for damages and compensation for pain and suffering is also not made; this is reserved for judicial proceedings.

Furthermore, no review is possible if legal proceedings or a public prosecutor’s investigation is already pending or if a court decision has already been issued. If there is also an expert opinion, we suggest that an amicable settlement be reached, contact the dentist treating you and discuss possible solutions.

Please also check in advance whether, in your case, the independent expert procedures in statutory health insurance may be responsible for checking suspected defects in prosthetic services. You can clarify this with your health insurance company.

Please send your input regarding a suspected dental treatment error by post or email to:
