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 asked by sister's boyfriend, an MD, if he would write me a script for
the pain in my back at a wedding. Hell, if you can't impose on your
family and friends then what are they for?

Did he do it without diagnosis? If so, he's an idiot.
