Hello. I'm 22 year old male and I'm having some problems. About a month ago I started to suffer from strong and sharp pain located on the left side of my tongue.
I'm very worried because I have never experienced anything similar in my life. When I examined my tongue in front of a mirror I have noticed that I have a small red area on that side of tongue. Only thing I could remember that had any connection with this is recently visit to the dentist which putted crown on tooth on left side.
Could it be related to this? What should I do?

Hi. I have just read your post and I can tell you that it has made me thinking about it. You see, I believe that the cause is definitely your visit to your dentist- if it is true that you didn’t have any symptoms before it and if you remember you didn’t bite your self.
There are to possibilities. Maybe your new crown is somehow irregularly shaped and that is causing constant irritation to that tongue side. In that case you should contact him again to reshape that crown. Other possibility is that your dentist could damage your alveolar nerve and that this is causing you your pain and numbness.
What ever is the cause- contacting your dentist would probably be the best thing you could do right now.

I have the same weird pain on left side bottom to tongue. I can't lick the left side of my lips. It hurts too much. I have not been to the dentist recently. Pain is constant. Only feels better when I am not eating and or talking (in other words my tongue is not moving)

Several months ago, I had a tooth extracted and felt the dentist accidentally insert the needle into the left side of my tongue instead of the gum I had no issues with my tongue before. The pain is an awful stabbing like feeling. Should I consider a malpractice suit?

Walk a mile in all of our shoes and some "specialist" might care enough to at least research the matter. I tend to believe as one individual stated here upon their research. They came up with glossopharyngeal neuralgia being the most likely diagnosis. I too have often experienced this mystery stabbing pain in the tongue. It wakes me up out of a deep sleep. I ask myself whether I've bitten my tongue or I'm just plain losing my mind. There's never any blood or indication of a bite, however. I don't care to receive surgery of a nerve nor do I appreciate popular bandaide surgery, that is to take drugs to mask my symptoms. So for now I guess I'm simply satisfied knowing there is a diagnosis, no thanks to anyone other than another person like you and me coming on here to care enough and "research". Eat right, drink lots of water, exercise, sleep well, and manage your stress level is what I do knowing I have plenty of company out here.
