Can you touch your tongue to your nose and or chin?

It is possible for a person to touch their tongues to their nose. I have seen many people stick their tongue up and touch their nose. As for touching your tongue to your chin, I am sure that is also possible. I can do it and I have seen other people do it as well. So I would say that you can touch your tongue to your nose and your chin. That is my observation.

Is it normal after having a wisdom tooth pulled for your tongue to be yellow and a salty flavor and gooey feeling in the hole where the tooth was?

Yes, it is possible to have a salty flavor and a gooey feeling where the tooth was extracted, but my question is ... "Why are you putting your tongue there and annoying it!" Please don't.Rinse your mouth out several times a day with warm, salt water. Swoosh it around particularly where your wisdom tooth was extracted. If you are in no pain, and this gooey feeling continues, please see either your GP or go back to the dentist as you could have a little infection going on.Hope you get better soon.MarcyAnswerYes it is possible, but it is not good or normal! get to your dentist or doctor now! That taste is the taste of bacteria enfecting your gumb and the slimy feeling is the feeling of growing infection and puss. The discolorationof the tongue is where the bacteria is touching your tongue. Some bacteria contains a natural bleach that bleaches out the surrounding tissues.
