Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2006Numb tongue
For a slightly numb one side of tongue after wisdom tooth surgery, what kind of treatment would you recommend. - any medication - any supplements/vitamins & dosages - any other treatment? Unfortunately there is currently no scientifically proven medication that could aid the recovery of a traumatised or "stunned" nerve. Time is the best medicine in this case. Your surgeon would have told you that the paresthesia could last for months because nerves heal extremely slowly. However, given that your symptoms are only mild, the chances are that the nerve is going to recover completely. Bobby BDS, MFDS(eng) I still have some pain also in the teeth. I have a gel which contains Choline Salicylate Soln equivalent to Choline Salicylate 8.7% w/w Benzalkonium Chrolide Soln IP 0.01% w/w Lignocaine Hydrochloride IP 2% w/w In a flavored jelly base. Is this any good/safe for use topically on the teeth gums - will this cause problems with the tongue? > I still have some pain also in the teeth. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Is this any good/safe for use topically > on the teeth gums I meant teeth & gums - in general in the surgery area - it's been a week or so since the surgery. > - will this cause problems > with the tongue? everything will heal give it time=up to a year at least. gums and teeth will heal very quickly. > > I still have some pain also in the teeth. > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > - will this cause problems > > with the tongue?
