I went to the dentist 5 days ago for some routine dental work. My lower left gums were frozen and my tongue remains frozen still. Has anyone had any experience with this?
 
Hi there :),
what you're describing is called "paresthesia", it's not all that common but can happen. Usually the symptoms resolve within a few weeks, but sometimes, it can take longer. Do let your dentist know about this (if you haven't already done so).
