The lingual nerve is responsible in most part for the mechanical movement of the tongue. You also have the mandibular nerve which innervates the teeth and the jaw therein. My son has had a MRN for tongue pain. His right lingual nerve shows to be inflamed. He is in severe pain that is causing severe mental anguish. He needs help! Any help? We will send records any where for opinions and praying for a fix for him!
No known reason for his pain. Hello my LN was damaged during a wisdom tooth surgery and I have now lost the feeling in half of my tongue. It there any hope of regaining sensation at this point?
I have the same symptoms ,which are described from Julia. This was the biggest mistake in my whole life. I should not have ever my wisdom tooth extracted. The experts say that rehab can last till 2 years ,byt i do not believe anymore this at all. Root canal: It has been 4 years and 4 months of parathesia, altered taste and pain.
Did I say pain? Caused when Endodontist was talking about his fun weekend at a football game. Walked in and immediately injected anesthesia. I felt like my tongue was instantly electrically zapped.
Total loss of movement. Anesthesia works quickly but not like that. That is consistent with what I have read and been told. Affects ability to articulate words. So who can help to manage the pain and make the sensation tolerable? The tongue actively pushes on teeth, and more. Not good. The nerve condition is intolerable! The wax separates the tongue from the teeth somehow calming the burning sensation. I could say more…awful, awful. Doctors, really, there must be something. Dentist causes the condition with carelessness in this case.
Signed papers so no recourse. A lawsuit does not resolve the issue. But someone must be able offer some kind of relief. Boy do I regret that now! Can get no help in the more rural region i live in, and would consider flying back…flying anywhere…for help. Thank you for highlighting the details here. Most of us are not well-versed with such details.
This component measures the heart rate and increases during vigorous exercise. By increasing your cardioresponder pulse rate, you can increase the amount of oxygen you utilize, which provides you with a healthy lifestyle choice. I had a root canal done almost 3 years ago, suffered excruciating pain for 4 months, gabapentin helped a lot but I had really bad vertigo from taking it… I am on cymbalta permanently it really helps with the pain, but the numbness and loss of taste will be there forever.
The right side of my tongue was affected. I never knew that a shot of novacain could do this! Your blog website provided us with useful information to execute with.
Thanks a lot for talking about. Lots of factors in this equation, but maybe someone can see through to those that matter and offer a solution.
No present problem with sensitive teeth or bite. Given peroxide and Listerine Sensitive mouth wash rinse. Unusual for me, but my gums bled lots while hygienist scaled. Hygienist was rough and hooked me deep in the gum a few times — twice on bottom right and once right between top front incisors on right side I still get pain here multiple times per day, like a fizzy burning ache that comes and goes but comes on most when I hang my head down.
X-rays show no problem. Anyway, at that 1st visit, dentist suggested a 2nd molar filling near gum line at back of tooth against tongue — one on right and one on left. He noticed some filling on back of right incisor had come lose long story about a past bite adjustment gone wrong and a brutal quick shaving fix from another dentist that left me with speech annoyances, which he, my current dentist had tried to fix.
So with his good work coming undone, he tried to fix it again, but built it up to thick and too high, and filled the freedom of movement groove up with bond and postured my right lower jaw back too much. My mouth blistered that night and my tongue felt uncomfortable in my mouth, like my teeth were poking it.
Saliva flow felt funny too. I wondered if I burnt the inside of my mouth. About a couple weeks later I returned for the recommended fillings and expressed concern about the thick filling. He tried shaving and filling again the back of the top right incisor as some more filling where I was hooked had slivered away. Afterward, incisor filling was again, too much and too sharp, left top back filling was good. Right back too tooth had dull ache. Right side of tongue had deep dull ache too.
That night, swelling and blisters in mouth occurred again peroxide and mouth wash rinse I wondered , and sense of lots of salivation dentist said I must be milking my saliva glands , then saliva flow slowed and became less mucus filled.
Tongue kept pushing against teeth and would relax when I ate. Could not tell if sense of hot was coming from the teeth and gums or the tongue. Scallop tongue became a problem — biting tongue too. Felt pull deep in tongue. Lots of tongue biting and some cheek biting at back right side. Told dentist I think I lost a piece of tooth off the tooth he filled, because it did not have the same bite sensation and hurts on and off. I had signs of biting myself with that tooth big red blood blister where cheek meets gum.
He said it looks like I only lost a small bit of filling and said he did not need to fill it. Red bite marks on tongue kept turning into what resembled geographic tongue, all on right side. Dentist blamed a rough point on back tooth, filed it down and said the red raw at the front right of tongue must be from me teeth poking with my tongue. Altered speech. Altered bite sensation and now growing TMJ problems in right jaw, including occasional shooting pains, many times per day creepy crawly rolling neuralgia, ear ache and most recently pain running beside teeth and gum deep on right roof of mouth.
Dentist said it looks a little red there, but is not concerned. He sees no dental problem, but will send me to a Prosthodontist 6 month wait list and a maxofacial specialist 3 year wait list. Even so, dentist still thinks my problem must be like that another patient of his who is obsessed with an imperfect bite. He was trying to carefully hint at mental health being an issue.
I reached put to my family doctor who says this is a dentist problem. I went to emergency one night with brutal neuralgia an ear ache and after having experienced shooting pains up the side of my nose into my eye. After looking in my ear and mouth and seeing little concern, the Dr. I said, even tongue issues are not covered in Emergency. He said not yours. Yours is a dental matter. All oral health is dental. After lots of missed work, tears, night and early morning sweats and anger, I reached out for help from a psychiatrist who has prescribed Cymbalta.
She said I really need to get the dental piece figured out and Cymbalta will help me with nerve pain and anxiety until I do. I was working full time as a grade 1 and 2 teacher. I love my job dearly and used to love reading, talking and singing with the kids, but it is too hard now.
Even though I can not afford it, I have cut my time down to half and only show read alouds now on YouTube instead of reading my favourite stories. I talk minimally, and under the mask I often hide the fact that I am not singing with the kids. This is all to prevent injury. Otherwise, I bite tongue too much, risk throwing my jaw out of joint or suffer too much tongue fatigue. My husband is at home with stage four cancer. Am I stressed? Maybe, probably, but I thought I was managing really well though.
I have my friends a great class if if children, supportive parents. I was running everyday. I felt good, until after that routine dental cleaning, checkup and incisor filling; and then worse after the molar fillings. I resent my dentist insinuating my problem is mental health. However, I am open minded, though not sure he is. I sense he is being over guarded. Cymbalta has made me tired, really tired. It has helped numb the TMJ pain some.
All the tongue biting, geographic looking burns, scallop tongue etc. As well I still get a deep sense of tongue pulling from the back, and as I mentioned most new, an uncomfortable feeling of pressure running along the right side roof of my mouth. The burning mouth and metal taste comes and goes depending on how bit up my tongue is and other factors I can not figure.
I would like to think everything will be sorted out before school starts again in the fall and wonder what I can do to make this better and get my normal tongue and jaw function back. Physio tried to help, but until the dental piece is sorted out, only wants to massage my neck and offer mild stretching. I had seen Physio at the onset of troubles too, and wondered if aggressive jaw manipulation stretching , could have caused or exasperated the problem.?!
The Physio says no. I could really use advice and guidance. Thank you for taking time to read this. I just want to be a good mother, wife and teacher again without constantly injuring myself. Also, my homiopathic Dr. Relevant clinical points will be explored and relevant diseases affecting the tongue explained. The tongue begins development in the fourth week of life from the median tongue bud or tuberculum impar arising from the 1st pharyngeal arch. In week five, paired lateral lingual swellings begin to grow and cover the median tongue bud and fuse to form the anterior two-thirds of the tongue with the line of the fusion demarcated by the median sulcus.
Around the lingual swellings, the cells degenerate to form a sulcus freeing the tongue from the floor of the mouth except in the midline where an attachment remains midline lingual frenulum. The copula which eventually becomes the posterior one-third forms in the fourth week from the third and fourth pharyngeal arch and overgrows the second pharyngeal arch from week five.
By week 8, the anterior two-thirds and posterior one-third fuse at a junction called the sulcus terminalis, an inverted V-shaped groove. At the tip of the sulcus terminalis lies the foramen caecum, a small pit-like depression which is the beginning of the thyroglossal duct.
This forms the migration pathway of the thyroid gland into the neck. Ankyloglossia commonly called tongue-tie is a condition where the median lingual frenulum forms a short attachment with the tongue and can restrict its movement to varying degrees. Though many are asymptomatic, this can lead to breastfeeding difficulties due to an inability to suck effectively, causing soreness for the mother and poor infant weight gain. In these cases, division of the tongue-tie can be carried out to alleviate symptoms.
Genioglossus is a fan-shaped muscle that accounts for most of the body of the tongue. Tongue mucosa , with the most inferior fibres inserting into the hyoid bone. The role of the genioglossus is primarily in tongue protrusion inferior fibres and deviation to one side. The middle fibres depress the centre of the tongue towards the back. The superior fibres draw the tip back and down. The genioglossus plays a major role in the maintenance of airway patency. Basic airway manoeuvres such as a chin lift alongside a head tilt and jaw thrust, aim to prevent the tongue mainly genioglossus from falling back in the oropharynx, via to its attachment to the mandible.
Also, relaxation of this muscle during REM sleep is said to be responsible for obstructive sleep apnoea. Hyoglossus is a thin , flat quadrilaterally shaped muscle in the upper neck and floor of the mouth. Inferolateral aspect of the tongue between styloglossus laterally and inferior longitudinal muscle medially. Sublingual branch of the lingual artery and the submental branch of the facial artery. Along with contributing to airway patency, it is an important landmark in the floor of the mouth for identifying important structures during submandibular gland and oral cancer surgery.
In the sublingual space, the muscle separates the lingual artery medial from the lingual vein and submandibular duct laterally. A triangular muscle , which is the shortest and smallest of the three styloid muscles. Passes forward to the postero-lateral surface of the tongue , blending with the inferior longitudinal and hyoglossus muscles.
It is an important marker for staging squamous cell carcinoma SCC of the lateral oropharynx, with its involvement leading to a higher reclassification of tumours from T to T4a, ultimately affecting treatment options and surgical approaches for resection. A thin muscle , narrower in the middle than its ends, that creates ridges in the lateral oropharyngeal wall, called the palatoglossal arch or anterior faucial pillar.
This marks the lateral border of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Postero-lateral tongue and contributing to the palatoglossal arch. Lingual artery and collateral supply from the tonsillar artery a branch of the facial artery.
Elevates the posterior portion of the tongue and draws the soft palate inferiorly. The majority of tonsillar carcinomas originate from the anterior faucial pillar. Since the palatoglossus muscle makes up this structure it can provide a pathway for cancer to spread to the hard and soft palate.
The lymphatic drainage of the tongue is complex, consisting of superficial and deep networks. This can be simplified into the following:. Appreciation of the lymphatic drainage of the tongue into lymph node levels of the neck is important when understanding the metastatic spread of tongue malignancies. All the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles are supplied by the hypoglossal nerve cranial nerve XII EXCEPT the palatoglossus , which is supplied by the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve.
Damage to the hypoglossal nerve can lead to weakness and atrophy of the ipsilateral tongue. When one of the two nerves are damaged the tongue when protruded will deviate towards the side of the damaged nerve, due to overaction the functioning genioglossus on the unaffected side.
