Can Numbness In Lip And Chin And Gum Area After Having Wisdom Tooth Extracted Be Considered Normal?
I had a bottom wisdom tooth that was impacted removed this morning at 9:00 am. I still seem to have numbness in the lip and chin on the right side along with the gum area? When the proceedure was finished the Dr told my husband that everything went fine? How long with this take to go away?
Its normal to have effect of anaesthesia after extraction. It will subside on its own with in 24 hrs. Do not panic. Complete your course of medicines as prescibed by your dentist. Take proper rest.
