Left side tongue numbness

by fallen676, Apr 04, 2008 08:24AM
I went to the dentist on wednesday 04/02/08 to have old fillings removed and I did have a cavity which was cleaned out.  That afternoon...the feelings came back except for the left side of my tongue...it feels swollen at times and definitely numbness is there....burning sensation at times and i cannot taste food on that side.  I was brushing my teeth and tongue on that side and I could feel the heavyness of the toothbrush but not the sensation like the right side of my tongue.  This is quite annoying...and after reading from others who are having the same problem I am hopeful that this will eventually subside or go away.  Is there any thing I can do to hurry up the process?.

If dysesthesia does'nt go away in 2 weeks, you may need to see a neurologist.
