Scott M. Kuboff, Esq. is an Ohio Dental Malpractice Attorney with the law firm of Lowe Scott Fisher Co, LPA who helps his clients receive fair and just compensation for trigeminal nerve injuries.

OHIO TRIGEMINAL NERVE INJURY ATTORNEY

The trigeminal nerve is a complex cranial nerve that is responsible for sensation and motor functions like biting and chewing.  The trigeminal nerve has three branches – ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3) – on each side of the face.   Each branch is divided into smaller nerve branches like the superior alveolar nerve, buccal nerve, lingual nerve, and inferior alveolar nerve.  Those nerves branch into smaller nerves.

RISKS OF PROCEDURE

It is not uncommon for dental treatment to affect the smaller branches of the trigeminal nerve.  For example, when extracting a tooth, the small nerves that run through the root of the tooth will naturally be disrupted.  Sensations like numbness, tingling, pins and needles or burning may follow.   These sensations are accepted risks of the procedure and are likely risks of other types of dental treatment.   In other words, you can experience these sensations even if the dentist performed the procedure perfectly.  

BREACH OF CARE

Dental malpractice claims for nerve injuries usually require a severe injury to — if not severing — a branch of the trigeminal nerve resulting in permanent nerve damage
