"Nerve Damage at Oral maxillo-facial at Homerton "

I had a coronectomy procedure January 2023 (18 months ago) with Oral maxillo-facial at Homerton Hospital. The procedure is a partial removal of wisdom tooth to avoid nerve damage. However in the process they damaged my other nerve, lingual nerve and left my tongue and inner jaw numb. I spoke to nerve specialist and was told that there is a risk of that happening but they know it is there and *should* avoid damaging it. If they had warned me that there is a risk of this happening, I would have avoided this procedure at all cost. The damage is permanent and there is no way of recovering from it. Even surgery doesn't guarantee a recovery. I would strongly recommend weighing your chances before agreeing do go through this procedure.
