Re: Cavity fixed but tongue still numb

sug,
It is not unusual to feel some numbing after freezing, esp if the needle touches the nerve. Fortunately, most of the time the numbing sensation will disappear completely after a few days or weeks. In fact, the burning sensation often is a sign of healing. What I would recommend is call the dentist and inform him what is going on. Sometimes he may map the area of numbness and see how much improvement occur in a few weeks. Again, I dont think u need to worry about it too much.
