To Sue or Not to Sue....would it be worth the effort?
Anonymous2 views3 answers
I had a back molar extraction done on a Thursday, it was the most painful extration I have ever had. On Sunday, I developed all of the signs of Bell's Palsy. I am unable to close my left eye, I have massive pain underneath my ear, I can't rub my lips together, and the worst part is my smile. Its gone. I don't know if its worth the fight against a denist. I can't find any studies or results showing that people developed Bell's Palsy after a dental procedure.
The cause of Bell's Palsy in many cases is unknown, and therefore provides a perfect defense for the dentist. The fact that it developed after your dental procedure coudl be just coincidental . I think it will be hard for you to find an attorney under these facts.
Good luck.
Bell's palsy is believed to be caused by inflammation or damage to cranial nerves. See a doctor ASAP to get the symptoms controlled. Then look for a local personal injury lawyer.
