Reg,
I dont't hink JimH was really wanting "advice" but merely asking for a
backup to what his daughters dentist said....That it is possible for
the tongue to be working abnormally for up to 5 weeks.
I can't see a problem with another dentist to give a "yea" or "nay" to
that question.
But then again, I'm not a dentist....
Why some folks jumped in here to beat me up for asking a simple
question is beyond me, especially when my post had nothing to do with
them. Oh well. Perhaps NOYB will still respond, although he will have
to wade through that crap.
BTW: I posted the question to the NG you suggested. I am sure the
folks there will be a bit more friendly with their responses. ;-)
First response from that NG:

Hi! I need a professional opinion from you, if you would do me that
favor.
My daughter had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted on 9-11. She was awake
during
the entire procedure, with a local anesthetic given via injection.
As of today her tongue is still numb, although she is now feeling some
tingling in it, though slight.
The doctor performing the extraction told her not to worry as it can
take up
to 5 weeks for the senses in her tongue to return to normal.
Is this true?
TIA! ;-)
Yes. It may even take longer than that. My readings seem to
suggest
that slight nerve damage to the tongue is less likely to lead to
permanent alteration in sensation than damage to the inferior alveolar
nerve (which would lead to change in sensation to the lower lip).
What say you, Dave?

Nice folks there! ;-)
