Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Virginia

Dental Malpractice - Wisdom Teeth Extraction and Numbness
I had my wisdom teeth removed in Northern Virginia in September of 2003 and believe I have incurred permanent nerve damage. Because of this surgery I have numbness and altered taste on the right side of my mouth as well as difficulty speaking when I get tired. I believe my dentist did not alert me of the risks associated with my surgery, nor did he take the appropriate precautions given the condition of my wisdom teeth.

I have since moved to Charlottesville, VA, but am unable to find a lawyer in my area who deals with dental malpractice. I would like to find out more information about my rights and options in this situation.

Many more facts would be needed(and derivative questions answered)in order to determine whether you may have a viable malpractice case.
