A member asked:
Does damaged lingual nerve from impacted wisdom tooth surgery heal itself as time goes on? i suffer pain &burning in tongue for 4 months.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain management: If, after a reasonable course of steroids, the patient reports decreased sensation and pain consistent with neuronal injury, neuropathic pain medications should then be considered. After 4 month the surgery is already known to be ineffective. See orofacial pain specialist for neuropathic pain management.
