if a dentist hits the lingual nerve in the floor of your mouth with a needle during nerve block injection for teeth cleaning causing permenant damage and pain , is that breech of care? I have been told that during wisdom tooth extraction it can happen but should never happen during routine nerve block in mouth floor.
