[|Human|] Hi I quit chewing tobacco, but still have some numbness in my tongue. The dentist says there are no signs of oral cancer. Does this get better in time, or the price to be paid for bad decision making? No sores or anything, just numbness that comes and goes
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The numbness(anesthesia or paresthesia) can be because of the pressure over the nerve by a wisdom tooth, or a tumor or a cyst. The other possible cause can be any injury to the nerve by trauma or any injection at the site of nerve. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get yourself examined and take a screening radiograph like OPG to rule out the above said causes.Meanwhile you can take a nerve regenerating Chat Doctor.  Take care of the part which is numb from hot, cold and sharp objects, because you will not be able to make out the sensation. The numbness has nothing to with the use of tobacco, unless there is an oral cancer. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
