Brief Answer:
Continue treatment and consultation with your dentist
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Usually during dental procedures local anesthesia is given in lingual nerve behind molar teeth.
In some cases there may be some injury to nerve leading to decreased sensation over same side and on lips. This may recover in days to weeks.
You have to consult your dentist if some abscess or swelling present at the site of injection.
Nothing extra can be advised by neurologist.
I will advise you to consult your dentist regularly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
