Lingual nerve
injury or damage can result in anesthesia (numb tongue), paresthesia
(tingling), or dysesthesia ( pain and burning ) in the tongue and inner mucosa of the
mouth. This can be due to complication of tooth extraction of the
wisdom teeth ( third molar ) or dental anesthetic injection (nerve
block) for fillings, crowns. It result in a chronic pain syndrome or
neuropathy. If the inferior alveolar nerve is involved, numbness
of the lip may result.
Some people have
injury to the inferior alveolar nerve. While this site was created
addressing lingual nerve damage, inferior alveolar nerve damage is even
more common. The injury can result in anesthesia, paresthesia, or
dysesthesia of the chin, lower lip, and the jaw. This nerve can be
injured by injection, but is more commonly injured during wisdom tooth
extraction. It can also be injured by root canal procedures, other
tooth extractions and with placement of implants.
| Tooth extraction is one
of the leading causes of
lingual nerve and inferor alveolar nerve damage, usually the third
molars ( wisdom teeth). ...MORE
