What are the signs of nerve damage after dental work?

Some common signs that you’re suffering from nerve damage after dental work include:

Numbness in the mouth, cheek, gums or areas of the face
A pulling sensation in the area that you feel is damaged
Pain/burning in the damaged area
A loss of ability to taste

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms following dental work, it’s important to return to your dentist as soon as possible. Most nerve injuries get better on their own over time, but in more severe cases, the damage can be permanent.

Is my dentist responsible for nerve damage after dental work?

It’s important to understand that nerve damage after dental work doesn’t necessarily mean your dentist did something wrong. Nerve damage is a known risk of most dental procedures, and can sometimes happen even if your dentist has followed all the correct procedures.

However, if your dentist failed in their duty of care, they may be responsible for the damage. In this case, you could be able to claim compensation for dental negligence.

Your dentist may have failed in their duty of care if:

They did not inform you of the risks associated with the dental procedure
They used incorrect techniques or excessive force during the procedure
They failed to carry out proper pre-treatment assessments
They failed to refer you to a specialist when the dental work should have been carried out by someone with more advanced expertise
