Can I sue my dentist?
My dentist was doing a root cancel on me and then he slipped and cut the inside of my lip and mouth. I may get a scar now and I want to know if I can sue him for it. I think since he cut me I should be able to get it fix so that I do not have a scar and he sould pay for it. What do you think?

I can understand your worries about getting a scar. No one wants to have a scar at least not were you can see it. However, you stated that the cut happen on the inside of your lip and mouth. Not sure who would see a scar there.
Did you speak to your dentist at the time this had accident happen? Or is it just now you are thinking about suing? I suggest to at least talk to your dentist first to see what they are willing to pay for.

You can sue whomever you like no matter what the reason is. If you are asking if you have a winnable case, then you may want to speak to a lawyer about that.
I also would suggest speaking to your dentist first. They normally would have some kind of insurance in place for accidents like that. See what they tell you.
