I’m sorry you’re experiencing nerve pain potentially linked to an improper filling. To answer your question, it depends. If the dentist’s actions fell below the standard of care expected from a reasonably competent dentist while performing the filling and directly caused the injury, it is very likely to fall under dental malpractice. Your best course of action is to speak with a personal injury attorney about the specifics of your case to determine your options.
