What Causes Numbness And Pain On Tongue After Filling Tooth?

I had some fillings done at the dentist almost a week ago, and my tongue is still numb with some shooting pains also occurring. The dentist and my GP have told me to wait and it will get better on its own. What do you think? Should I wait or try to see a specialist? What type of Doctor would specialize in this area?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to take multivitamin suplements for 15 days alos at home take lukewarm saline rinses, take tab ibugesic plus BD if pain exist, if the symptoms still persists or worsen get it examined by an Oral surgeon.


Take care!
