My dentist accidentally hurt my nerve while he was going to fill in my cavities: What can i do?

My dentist accidentally hit a nerve while adding a needle to numb the pain today and i lost 3 front teeth the 2 buck teeth and the eye teeth.





I know he made a mistake and i have forgiven him and all but now i dont have my 3 front teeth i lost 2 on the top and my eye teeth the teeth that looks like a vampire teeth.





Anyways i have forgiven him for the mistake but now i have to focus on getting dentures because when i look at the mirror i felted like my whole world just changed.





I know it dumb to ask but should i continue seeing the same dentist or go to another dentist?





Hes a really good person and hes been my dentist since i was a child should i continues seeing him or not?





I dont know how can hitting a nerve can actually lose my 3 teeth but that was my dentist said.

If you just lost three teeth when you went to get fillings... then you need to return to him and get a very clear understanding of what happened. He "hit a nerve" doesn't sound like you understood what happened (nor does it sound clinically feasible) and in order for you to decide whether or not you want to continue being treated by him, you need to understand.





If he cannot explain to you in clear terms that you can understand and feel comfortable with, then request copies of your pre-treatment and post-treatment x-rays. Take those to another dentist for a second opinion. Or if you don't feel comfortable asking yourself, schedule an appointment with another dentist and have them request the x-rays for you.





At any rate, if your dentist has attributed the loss of these three teeth to his error, then a denture is not an acceptable compensation. Implants are an option but depend whether or not you are a suitable candidate for them (they have special requirements if they are to work), or he can place a porcelain bridge. I would insist on one of the these two, not a denture.
Reply:Same thing happened to me... I don't see him anymore. It's really your choise to switch or not.
Reply:Actually if a dentist hits a nerve when doing a filling he can save it but it would have to get a root canal or possibly an apicoectomy. You would probably have had to go to an endodontist. For him to do this to 3 teeth is not acceptable and hard to believe. Each tooth has its own individual nerve. He would have had to hit each one. It makes me wonder what he really did.





If your dentist made a mistake then he should be paying for you to have dental implants. You could sue him for such a thing. I wouldn't sue but you could.
