I had thought my pain was a jawbone cavitation but was laughed out of the dental hospital when I made this claim.. Four years on since the pain began I have had the presence of a jawbone cavity confirmed just today.. My self diagnosis has been correct all this time even though numerous dentists had told me I was definately wrong.. Can I claim any damages or the cost for the operation to fix this problem.. I have suffered with depression since this beagn and it caused me to fail University and become suicidal.. Any advice would be appreciated..

Didn't they do any tests/xrays to investigate the problem.?
It sounds more like they simply couldn't SEE the actual problem and thus had no way to deal with it.. In that case they have done the best they could..
If they refused to investigate though - I would definitely consider legal action!Health Question & Answer

its worth a go yes, if you would have had the operation at the begining years ago when it first started then it may not have been as bad as it now.. things get worse the longer they are left and if you have been wrongly diagnosed all these years then its worth seeking professional advice to see if you can..
