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.

Is this true?

TIA! ;-)

They always tell people there are minimal complications from getting
wisdome teeth out but there are a lot more complications than they ever
acknowledge. This is a MAJOR surgical procedure that should only be
undertaken if there are serious problems. Potential problems down the
road are not sufficient reason. You have those teeth for a reason,
keep em unless there is a very good reason not to.

No. You are looking for a free consultation with a dentist on a boating NG.

I guess you have never asked for free advice before, either in person
or in a NG.

What is that saying about people in glass houses?

Oh, and I almost forgot........... ;-)

Not that kind of free advice. Free advice among fellow recreational
boaters, about boating, yes.

Free advice among fellow professional associates in the right forum, yes.

Free advice from someone who offers free advice ..... depends.

Free advice from a professional who is normally compensated for their
knowledge and training? No.


What is that saying about people in glass houses?

My house isn't glass.

Whatever. Why you chose to try to start an argument about this is
beyond me.

I hope your day improves Richard. ;-)
