We have had concerns right from the start that work done by Mr Desmond D’Mello may not have been up to standard. The reason for this is based on our own experience with dental negligence claims, and advice from our specialist barristers. There are often trends when it comes to poor practice, and we have identified a lot of potential issues with the many clients we’re acting for so far.

Our specialist Daybrook Dental Negligence Team is now actively investigating these lines of enquiry.

It isn’t just what Desmond D’Mello has done that has had such a profound effect on the former patients of the Daybrook Practice – it is who he is, or was, that has had just as big of an impact.

‘Des’ as he was affectionately known by many wasn’t just the local dentist; he was a friend to the local community. For the former patients affected by his actions, the scandal has been made worse by the fact that they feel they have been ‘let down’ and ‘deceived’ by a man they once knew as a friend.

Our specialist Daybrook Dental Team have been working so hard to help those who want justice as former patients of Desmond D’Mello at the Daybrook Dental Practice. Thousands of people have come forward for help since the NHS launched their recall to test and advise patients for serious blood-borne infections like HIV and Hepatitis.

Our Daybrook Team are leading the way in the fight for justice for those affected, and hundreds of former patients who are now claiming with us have shared their experiences and helped to bolster the evidence mounting against D’Mello.

I tell you – when I first heard about the news of Desmond D’Mello reusing gloves, not washing his hands, and using unsterilised equipment, I felt ill; and I’m not even a former patient!

That feeling of sickness is something that has been shared amongst many of the former patients who have discovered in recent weeks that they have potentially been exposed to horrendous blood-borne infections like HIV and Hepatitis.

As each day goes by and we accept more and more claims, we’re hearing hundreds of horror stories from former patients about the things D’Mello would allegedly get up to.

Since the news broke out about the Daybrook dental scandal, we’ve been taking on significant volumes of cases for people who want justice for being exposed to serious infections like HIV and Hepatitis. We firmly believe that we’re now representing far more patients than any other law firm, and we’re way ahead when it comes to progress.

From what we have seen and what we have been informed, a lot of firms advertising out there are either not law firms, and simply claims management companies who farm cases to lawyers; or firms who don’t really know what to do and are shying away from committing themselves to the fight.

We always knew that it was set to be a significant task tracking down all of the former patients of disgraced Nottinghamshire dentist Mr Desmond D’Mello. We’re aware that records were apparently being kept in toilets with dentistry equipment, and there are real concerns over the scale of the task in tracking down former patients as part of the recall.

Media sources report that the recall is now widening in efforts to track down the 22,000 patients that may have been affected.

I’ll start by just saying that this is all speculation based on what we can see about Desmond D’Mello’s activities since he has been suspended by the General Dental Council. What we can see is evidence of a swift appointment as the director of a new company within weeks of his ownership of the Daybrook Dental Surgery coming to an end.

So we ask the question – did D’Mello have a backup plan all along? Does this add more insult to the hurt he has caused the former patients we are now acting for?

We have of course seen the report commissioned by the Care Quality Commission which triggered the striking off of Desmond D’Mello for ignoring important infection control procedures. Here’s an insight in to the report and what it tells us about the mindset of the man the media are calling the ‘Dirty Dentist.’
