How to Handle Your Nerve Damage

After a visit to your dentist, you expect your oral health to improve, not get worse. If you recently underwent a dental procedure and notice something off with your teeth, lips, or face, you may be experiencing nerve damage caused by negligence or a mistake.

Nerves are often damaged during:

  • Tooth extractions
  • Root canals
  • Wisdom tooth removals
  • Dental implants

It is important to take careful observations and notes about the symptoms you are experiencing and the condition you are in. Visit a trained and trusted medical professional for a second opinion about whether or not your nerve damage was caused by a dentist’s error.

What is a Lingual Nerve Damage Lawsuit?

Damage to your lingual nerve can occur as a result of negligence during a dental procedure when the nerve in your tongue is damaged, resulting in loss of feeling or taste. To pursue a lawsuit, you'll need to prove the injury resulted from the operation and that the effects are long-term or permanent.

Can Dental Nerve Damage Heal?

If you have suffered lingual nerve damage, you may be asking yourself what the recovery time is. Ordinarily, lingual nerve damage is temporary, and the patient will recover on their own within about eight weeks. However, if the symptoms last longer than six months, the damage will most likely be permanent.

Some potential treatment options for lingual nerve damage include:

  • Prescription medication
  • Laser treatment
  • Surgical procedures
  • Relaxation therapy or hypnosis
  • We Provide Free Consultations
  • Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Recovered For Our Clients
  • Client-Centered Approach
  • Real Life Experience & Knowledge
  • Personalized Attention & Care
