Can we sue our dentist?

My fiance went to the urgent care dentist tonight for a tooth ache and had to get 4 fillings done. The dentist was doing the work and the place got busy so the dental assistant offered to finish up by buffing the fillings down. He let her finish and she was being very rough and trying to rush through it to get to the other people. The buffer slipped off his tooth and sliced his tongue open. They had to give him stitches in his tongue. They charged him and sent him on his way with antibiotics and pain medicine for his tongue. He cant eat or drink anything and he can barely talk. His tongue is swollen and cant take anti inflammatory meds because of other meds thats hes currently taking. Can we sue them?

Sounds like text-book malpractice to me.
