A member asked:
Breastfeeding. had a local anaesthetic injection during dental filling work. had distorted vision, numb tongue immediately after injection. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely two different: things happened, injection directly into a small artery can cause a vision change temporarily; injection very close to or into part of the lingual nerve route will cause the side of the tongue to go numb immediately. All should resolve with time.
