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, although 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.

Yes. If there's been some improvement, that's a very good sign. It means
the nerve was bruised, but is healing. If the nerve was severed, there'd
have been no change since day 1.


Thank you. Another doctor agreed with your professional assessment.

I apologize for the garbage others made you wade through Doc, including
those who responded to a question directed only to you but decided to
try to make this a confrontational thread.

Thanks again Doc! I will relay your response to my daughter. ;-)
