Rimes claims she went to Dr. Duane C. McKay for various dental work over 3 years. Some of the work included upper front veneers and crowns that the dentist promised would address her TMJ-related pain as well as improve her appearance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rimes claims rather than helping, the dentist messed her mouth up bad, causing tremendous pain and bleeding. Back in October, she tweeted, \"I feel like I got hit in my right side of my face with a baseball bat.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rimes says she's had to undergo 9 root canals and bone grafting. She's also had a temporary bridge and needed physical therapy as well.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rimes says in the suit she will have a \"permanent cosmetic deficiency.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rimes says the dental work is so bad it has been screwing with her career ... impeding her ability to perform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In her malpractice lawsuit, LeAnn is seeking unspecified damages for physical, emotional and psychiatric injuries. She also wants money for loss of past and future earnings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;a class=\"lightbox-link\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2009/06/17/1930-remodeled-mouths/\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0214_remodeled_mouths_footer_v2\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/02/14/0214-remodeled-mouths-footer-v2-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
