Nerve damage

On December 23, 2015 i was injected into a nerve at the dentist. I felt a horrible shock. I was just diagnosed with superior alveolar neuropathy by a neurologist. Three of my upper top molars on my left side are numb burning and sour taste at gum line along with pressure and pain. I'm really scared that this is never going to go away. Please can anyone help me? Thank yoy

Seeing a neurologist who is experienced in managing traumatic neuropathy is advised.
