If you’ve suffered lingual nerve damage after dental treatment, and you believe it was a result of negligent dental care, you may be eligible to sue your dentist for compensation.
For your claim to be successful, you’ll need to prove that:
- Your dentist breached their duty of care: For example, by failing to warn you of potential risks, performing a procedure incorrectly, or using improper techniques or equipment.
- You suffered an injury as a direct result of that negligence: Such as partial or permanent loss of taste, numbness, or ongoing pain.
Common dental procedures linked to lingual nerve damage include tooth extractions (particularly wisdom teeth), root canal treatments, and dental implant placements. If your dentist did not take reasonable precautions during these treatments or failed to inform you about potential complications, you could have grounds for a claim.
When you get in touch with the Dental Law Partnership, your dedicated solicitor will carefully review your case, gather all the evidence on your behalf, and work with our trusted in-house dental experts to determine whether your nerve injury could have been avoided with proper care. Even if you’re unsure whether negligence occurred, we can help assess your situation and advise you on how likely your claim is to be successful.
