Numb Tongue Your tongue will usually feel numb after a dental procedure while the anesthetic wears off. The typical unaesthetic causes numbness around the mouth for approximately four hours. The effects of strong unaesthetic used for more invasive procedures, including wisdom teeth extraction, last between eight and nine hours.

Losing sensation in your tongue after the anaesthetic wears off is incredibly rare. However, it can occur after some procedures.

Numbness may also persist if the anesthetic needle touches or penetrates the nerve that connects the tongue to the mouth. The anaesthetic solution can also inflame the mouth’s nerves, causing lingering numbness in the tongue

Burning and Tingling Sensations Occasionally, patients say they feel burning or tingling sensations in their mouth after dental procedures. These may be symptoms of nerve damage or irritation. They can also be symptoms of the mouth and its nerves healing themselves after receiving dental treatment.

Usually, your mouth will feel normal again within two weeks.
