Conversation: It sounds like your family doctor, your neurologist, and ENT need to have a conversation to determine what they think is happening with you . . . And one of them (probably your family doctor) needs to talk with you about all this. Please contact your family doctor to ask for his/her assessment -- so that whatever treatments are needed, can be provided.

Probably hit a nerve: It happens when the dentist inject the nerve and depends how severe, the nerve gets damaged. Nerves grow back to previous condition but that takes time depends on the severity of the injection. Follow-up with the dentist for post-ops. Hope this helps.

Team captain to Dx!: I might have missed an earlier post that gave us more info. I strongly agree with all the comments given to you by dr. Pappas. All too often, instead of a collective assessment, a patient goes from one specialist to another without a cohesive evaluation. The two most likely causes of tingling tongue are dental infection or damage to nerve from injection if lower tooth which is usually temporary.
