How long should I have numbness after wisdom tooth extraction?
I had posted an earlier question about numbness after wisdom tooth extraction. I forgot to add the most important detail. It has been 1 month since, and I still have numbness in my lower lip area. It appears I have some nerve damage. The questions are how long should I expect this feeling to last? and Should I contact another dentist or oral surgeon? Is this permanent?
You really got to contact who ever did the extraction for you. They must have damaged some parts of the nerve system. Normally, the numbness should be gone by about 2 hours, that's why they give you very strong pain killers. I'm only 13 and I got mine done; well, my mom's a dentist and she did it for me so if something was wrong it was easy for me to talk to. You really urgently need to go see your dentist, and also maybe your doctor (if it is a bad nerve damage). Good Luck! xoxo
