Summary
Mrs C complained about the dental treatment she received for a swelling in her mouth, which was subsequently found to be cancerous, and about the delay in referring her to a specialist for further investigation.
When we investigated Mrs C's complaint, we found that she had received the treatment as a private patient, rather than under the NHS. Under our legislation, we are not able to consider complaints about private dental treatment, and we closed our investigation of this complaint.
