Since the novocaine wore off, I have pain all over the area that had been numb, part of my
tongue included. It tingles, burns,
hurts. Movement, eating, hot, cold, all make it worse.
I went back to the dentist Monday. He said the needle touched the nerve and it could take months to heal. He filed my filings a bit more to improve my bite in case that might help. He told me to use warm, wet heat 10-15min. on then off.
