Why don't i have feeling in my tongue after i bit it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it checked: While it's not common to damage the nerve of you tongue from biting it, it is possible if you bit it just right. If you're experiencing decreased sensation on the side you bit, i'd recommend you be checked by an oral surgeon.
