If your information was exposed in the October 2023 First Choice Dental data breach, you may qualify for up to $6,000, a $50 cash option, and three years of free credit monitoring.
Here’s everything you need to know—fast.
Why This Lawsuit Exists?
In October 2023, cybercriminals accessed First Choice Dental’s systems and potentially obtained highly sensitive information, including:
Names, dates of birth
Social Security numbers
Driver’s license and passport numbers
Government ID numbers
Credit/debit card and financial account numbers
Health information
The lawsuit claims First Choice Dental failed to protect this data. The company denies wrongdoing but agreed to a settlement to resolve the case.
Who Qualifies?
You’re included in the Settlement Class if:
Your private information was implicated in the October 2023 First Choice Dental data breach, and
You reside in the United States
Excluded individuals include the defendant, related entities, judges involved in the case, and anyone found responsible for the breach.

Fraud or identity theft losses
Attorney or accountant fees

Documentation is required, and losses cannot have been reimbursed elsewhere.

3. Three Years of Free Credit Monitoring
