Ping: NOYB

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: wrote: 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? Steve ----------- Nice folks there! ;-) good, go there. And please stay there. |
