Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This numbness of tongue might have caused because of this anesthetic injection. It should have regained it senses within 1 day but if not then you should start with a drug named neurobion for 1 month.
If it does not occur after that also then you should consult your dentist again.
Hope it will help you.
