Sonja just recently had her wisdom teeth out. During the operation the the dentist injected her nerve with the anesthesia. This did make the side of her mouth numb while the surgery was happening but it also has left her tongue numb for the last few weeks. It was originally supposed to wear off after a day or two and since it has continued she has had to go back to ask about it. The first time the doctor just laughed at her and told her it will be fine in a few more days. It did not. So they had her sit in front of what can be best described as a red light at a house party. This light may actually help people out but it looks just like something I have seem many times in college. The dentist then told her that it will still be ok and if that doesnt work then it may be a little more serious than he thought, with a laugh. She has gone a few more times and still nothing so they moved her on to laser treatment. I have no clue what this is actually and when she asked the person working the machine three different times the best answer she said she got was "it does something and helps" The person working this machine also mentioned to her that this numbness could last a few months or even be permanent. This pissed her off. She confronted her doctor and asked him why he did not tell her this originally and thanked him for his craftsmanship. He again laughed at her and told her to relax. If any of you have met Sonja, this was not a good idea. So after all this time her tongue is still numb and waiting for feeling to come back.
