problem in mouth

my girlfriend went to her dentist yesterday morning to have a couple teeth cavities filled. When they injected her with Novocain she states that it hurt bad. And ever since she has had some kind of nerve problems on the tip of the tongue. Having a constant burnt tongue sensation.

Now the next morning there is a very visible spot where the pain is. Its almost like a bruise looking circle that even goes a little to the under of the tongue.

Any ideas? Thanks guys

maybe in the spirit of the holiday, she drank a hot pumpkin spice latte before the anesthetic completely wore off and she burned the tip of her tongue?

Umm...rather than ask dental students questions why not have her place a call to her doctor. I'm sure he/she will have a good answer.
