i would listen to every single soul in here and in the real world who tell you to sue.
i would sue if someone made it impossible for me to feel even a millimetre of skin.
this is your body. you're stuck with it until you die.
if you lose a limb, you lose it for the rest of your life.
you can't run, walk, sprint, dip your toes in the cold sea water... if it's your leg.
heck, if you have kids, you can't play football with them, trip them when they're running around the backyard for fun.
if it's a hand... it's even worse.
tongue is crucial for everything in life. you can't feels things. burning your tongue. speaking will suck balls. you'll forget you has tongue. you'll choke on it in your sleep.
fucking sue. at least for an operation that will fix it and monies.

On a more serious note:
I'll ask my fiancee what you can do when she gets home. She's a Dental Hygienist, and she does anesthetics.

anesthesiologists are awesome!
tell her that she's awesome!
i had an anesthesiologist who worked on my arm before an operation.
made it feel like a rubber pencil. it went back and forth. was trippy. she does gods work!
tell her that even though she never worked on my nerves, she does gods work and she's awesome!
apart from the idiot anesthesiologists who ruin nerves and make peoples not feel things forever

Yeah well, youre kinda right... as a patient, you should get at least informed what "could" possibly happen. Because if i know that, im not sure i would ever get myself a needle again.
But here in europe its very hard to sue someone in such cases. I may get 2-3000 euros, and im not sure if its worth the hassle. I asked in a german forum and they even said, i cant do anything about it. 
@Waldo: yeah LUCKILY the right side of the tongue is working, so i can feel and taste something. I have a slight changed speech though, but no one notices it.
@Morphineus: thats nice, maybe she has experienced something like that before. Atm im taking B vitamins and Hypericum D12 (homeopathy).
I try to not make myself crazy... i cant change it anyway. Never expected anything like that to happen, though...

Well before you take actions it's best to wait 48 hours since it can be temporary.
My fiancee said if you felt flashes they might have hit and damaged a nerve, there is a chance of it being permanent but that's not that common, it can take a while before it heals and indeed it can be up to 6 months.
Make sure they noted what happened in your dental journal, most in Europe are strict on keeping records on what they performed and used. It can happen with anyone but it's maybe better to change dentist.
About the to sue part, she thinks you won't get anything out of it. That being said, after those 48 hours and you are still worried contact them again. So they can inform you when you are in a calmer state.
Assuming you never experienced this before and it were flashes that you felt, othwerwise it can be something different.
(She was naming the nerves and procedure and all that crap: I said "keep it simple"  )

Don't be afraid, normally with a decent dentist it's not that common that they hit a nerve. If you feel like it's because he doesn't take his job serious then change dentist (which my fiancee think is the case instead of a silly mistake).

While the US suing policy is fucked up, the EU is perhaps even more fucked up. In the US you can actually sue someone when they do shit like this to you, but here you'll just end up with a loss even if you win. Maybe...

Skip the homeopathy bullshit. That won't do anything.
Also I'd sue the motherfucker for negligence...
