A member asked:
I got my tongue pierced, she had to do it more to the left side of my tongue to avoid the webbing. however after wards it immediately felt numb at the tip of my tongue, and now it feels like a burnt sensation on the left side of the tip of my tongue?

Tongue Piercing: The puncture wound may have caused damage to the lingual nerve in that area. Damage may be transient or permanent. Here's more info from the American Dental Association: https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/o/oral-piercings
