Hi, Your history certainly points towards an injury to the Lingual nerve by a needle, which could have happened during the extraction procedure, which is not uncommon in extractions of teeth in the lower jaw. You see, for anesthetizing a localized area for Dental extractions, LA (local anesthetic) solution, is infiltrated around the nerve supplying that particular area. Now, the Inferior Alveolar Nerve, & the Lingual Nerve, which in fact both needed to be anesthetized in you case, lie to close together in the area where they can be accessed to be anesthetized by a syringes needle, and since the area is quite small, your Lingual Nerve might have been nicked by the needle... Usually, no treatment is required, as the body is normally able the repair such damages by itself, however, hot fomentation and a short course of vitamin B-complex (particularly it. B6) should help... If not then steroid therapy may be required, for which you should consult your Physician.
