there has been times when i scalded my tongue when eating hot food. but, is it possible that in the process, a part of the tongue gets "cooked". it feels numb and hurts when it rubs againts the ceiling of the buccal cavity or the teeth. this lasts for a few days, and then suddenly it's gone.
or is it just tissue regeneration?

it's not cooked, but our tongue is a special kind of muscle!! it's just recovering, and regenerating damaged cells!
oh... yeah!! I know what it's called!! that part is DENATURED!! but it's gonna get fixed!1
take an egg as an example.. EGGS are protein, if you heat it, it will get cooked, but our tongues are not like that, so, don't worry!!!
WARNING: there's this dude, who drank a BOILING SOUP, his tonsils closed, and he could never eat again, he has to eat through a tube, how sad!!

I've done that a few time. When you burn your tongue it will get numb and last 2 or 3 days then you start getting the feeling back. If your really worried about it see your doctor. Happy numbing.

No, its not really passable to COOK it but you can burn it bad enough to kill the feeling for a while..but like you said it comes
back after a while because it's like a dead leg it shuts down to fix it (and it hurts) but after its fixed it like nothing ever happened.. so no you cant cook you tongue....Unless you REALLY Try!
P.S i wouldn't try

You don't actually cook your tongue, it's just the way your body reacts to something burning the sensitive part of your mouth.

I guess if you're dumb and eat a candle. I don't think you can cook yu r tongue that easily though. I have heard of people losing ALL of their taist buds though.

i think of you could, I had a cramp in my tongue years in the past and it replaced into extremely excruciating. i think of in case you may get a cramp in it then you certainly can stress it and my roommate concurs (stated 'reason she's a Registered Nurse).

I shouldnt think so .. :)
use some Bojela jel to ease the pain & it'll cure faster - if it happens again - of course prevention is always better can cure .. take care..

It is just burnt. See a doctor if it doesn't heal within a day or two.

I donno about your tounge but I know that you can FRY your brain. Just by watching tv too long, not having enought sleep, stressing without enough sleep, eating bad food all the time and just not sleeping if you have a headache.
