Visitor asks:
Hello,
On Wednesday, 22 January, I had my lower left wisdom tooth removed. Today, the 4th day after the procedure, I still cannot feel the left half of my tongue, or rather I have a kind of burning sensation. I would like to know how this happened and after how much time the condition should return to normal.
Thank you for your answer and have a nice day,
Katja

Dear Sir/Madam!
The problem you are experiencing is the result of altered conduction in the lingual nerve on the same side, which is also affected by the anesthesia (n. lingualis). The change may have been caused by the anesthetic itself or by the added vasoconstrictor, or it may be the result of mechanical injury from the needle used to inject the anesthetic. Since this is a minor disturbance, I believe it may last a month or two (an estimate).
Have a nice day!
