[|Human|] Hi. I am just wondering what caused me to have my tongue to feel tasteless when eating. I think that one of the reasons is that I stuffed toothbrush with toothpaste (mint flavor) for to long as I got distracted by watching the television. Is it possible? And how long will it take for it to go away? It has been more than 20 hours after brushing my teeth yesterday night.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The tasteless feeling is due to the prolonged use or contact of toothpaste material on your tongue resulting in numbness. I would suggest you to rinse your mouth thoroughly using warm saline. Use chlorhexidine mouth rinse to gargle. Floss your tongue using tongue scrapers. Usually such numbness lasts for 24 hours only. Please be careful while brushing your teeth, and only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste is usually used for brushing your teeth. Chat Doctor. If symptoms persists, please do visit your dentist and get a thorough evaluation done. Also, intake of spicy, salty food has to be limited. Take care.
