Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have numbness in your tongue dont worry it happens in cases where neddle stuck the nerve during anaesthesia .
It is known as paraesthesia of tongue .
You do is warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Take one tablet vitamin supplements once daily for one month .
If still your problem continues then consult your dentist again and go for examination.
Hope this will help you.
