Loss of taste after fillings

Okay so about three days ago I went to get four filling on my left side, two on top two on bottom. After I was done I couldn't feel my face taste anything, I had gotten fillings on my right five days ago so I didn't think anything of it because I felt like the same. But it has been two days and I can't taste anything on the left side of my tongue, I can move it and feel sensations on it but I can't taste anything.
While they were putting the two shots in my gums the one at the bottom felt more painful than any of the others I had. Does it have something to do with that? Should I go back to the dentist? What should I do?

Sounds like a nerve got hit with the injections. It should recover but can take weeks or sometimes months. More common with wisdom teeth extractions.
