Gum/jaw Injury From Needle Posted: 12-10-03 09:35am
My dentist deadened my mouth prior to
filling a cavity. I still felt the drill
so he stuck the anesethic needle in again
and it looked and felt like he twisted the
needle in my gum/jaw. That night my
cheek had a swelled up ball and was very
painful to the touch at the site of the
injection. It has been 6 days now and it
has subsided somewhat; however, the ball
of swelling and pain is still there. Did
he damage the nerve? What should I do?
