Is it normal for your tongue to go numb after you get your wisdom teeth taken out?
When your wisdom teeth are pulled, the teeth and the surrounding tissue will be numbed with a local anesthetic - the same medication you would receive to numb a tooth prior to having a cavity filled. Tongue & surrounding areas may be numb afterward.

About Teeth
Teeth are small, white structures made of calcium that are found in the jaw bone of animals and humans. The shape of an animal's teeth determine what that animal eats. Herbivores eat plants, which are hard to digest. As a result they have a mouth full of molars to grind and chew their food. Carnivores eat meat, so their teeth are designed to kill prey and rip flesh. Humans are omnivores, so we have a little of both.
