Dental Malpractice

Like medical doctors, dentists and oral surgeons have a duty to uphold a standard of care; if their negligence injures a patient, they can be sued for dental malpractice.

Dental negligence can lead to permanent or temporary nerve and/or structural injuries to the tongue, jaw, chin and lips, including lingual nerve injury (tongue), inferior alveolar nerve damage (lips, chin, and jaw), numbness, loss of taste sensation, and possibly even death.
