GEO - This article is accurate IMO. That is 30 million people who suffered serious injury or death over the last 14 years. Many of those go unreported. I happen to be one of the injured ones... I have permanent nerve damage to my lingual nerve from an injection of articaine my dentist gave me. This neurotoxic chemical is FDA approved and I had no recourse via the courts either. I'm left with burning pain on the right side of my tongue 24/7 and it happened in 2007. I reported my problem to the FDA but I never heard from them.
