i had a filling done on my Lower Right side (3rd tooth from the front) on Saturday morning (12 noon), and it is now Tuesday afternoon (2PM), and my Tongue (on the side of my mouth that the dental work was done on) is still frozen!! Sad

I contacted my dentist, and he said (re: the freezing) it can last up to 2 weeks?!!!??!!!!
WHAT!!>>??? Shocked

I've never had this type of reaction before!!
Is this something that does occur?
Is my dentist telling me the truth?
Should I be concerned about anything more serious regarding this condition? Confused

he asked if my lip had returned to normal (which it has for the most part), and
Assistance is greatly appreciated in understanding more about this!
thank you!
