How did the surgeon hit the nerve, while numbing you or doing the root canal? Is your numbness getting better ?

If your tongue is numb, that means this happened because of the injection and not the root canal. If you are getting better ,that's a very good sign that it's recovering. Did you talk to the oral surgeon about this? It might take another 6 months or more to recover fully.
