Numbness After Oral Surgery Posted: 02-06-07 22:18pm
I had all four wisdom teeth removed this
wedn. And the numbness went away later
that night. It was still gone the
following day but the very next morning on
friday the numbness came back on my chin
and bottom of lower lip. It has remained
the same. I hope I don't have nerve
damage but it doesn't make sense that it
went away and came back. My doctor said
maybe my neve is bruised or maybe it took
a couple of days to have swelling and that
could explain it coming back. I want to
know how long it will take to heal. Has
anyone else had this happen?

Had a tooth infection a while back and the
swelling pushed against my nerves causing
numbness and paralysis somewhat. The
tooth was pulled but it took 6 months
before the feelings came back. It
bothered me a lot at first but with time,
it just got better. Just need to be
patient even though I know it's
frustrating!
