Hancock Law, P.A., aggressively pursues dental malpractice cases. One example of a permanent and unnecessary dental injury that occurs through malpractice is severed lingual nerve. This occurs during a lower wisdom tooth extraction when the oral surgeon negligently servers the lingual nerve resulting in total loss of sensation to the front two-thirds of the tongue as well as pain in the mouth, gums and lips. Dental malpractice lawsuits arise in the following situations:
1. Lingual Nerve Damage,
2. Improper Crowns and Bridges,
3. Improperly Performed Implant Surgery,
4. Improperly Performed Root Canal treatment.
