Wht are my rights if I was shot in the nerve by a dentist and now I have constant pain on one side of my mouth?

I saw a neurologist and he said there was nothing he could really do to fix it.

You should contact a medical malpractice attorney in your state as soon as possible.  This may be a very significant and permanent injury.

Dental malpractice cases are usuallly subject to the same laws as medical malpractice cases.  I do not know Montana law, so I cannot advise you on specifics.  Call some Montana malpractice lawyers.  Dental cases are less common than medical cases, so you may have to call several lawyers before someone is willing to look into your case.  Don't give up - keep calling until a lawyer is willing to look at your specific case and let you know if you have a claim
