hi...
thanks for the query...
the sensation you mentioned is due to nerve irritation... you have to keep patience... it will go eventually... you should take vitamin B 12 supplements to enhance nerve regeneration...
if it persists for longer duration then visit your dentist...
take care...

hello
tingling sensation till now can only be related to some kind of nerve injury which may occur during extraction. Don't be scared, just relax. it will heal after some time. also consult your dentist from where you got extractions done
thanks

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Tingling sensation can be due to side effect or overdose of LA administered.

Apply frequent cold and hot packs at the affected site.

Complete course of antibiotics-analgesics has to be administered.

Take adequate rest and avoid anxiety.

Take care.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I would like to tell you that it can be due to prolonged effect of anaesthesia since you have got multiple teeth extracted.
Its not a big issue to worry about because it will resolve on its own.
You just need to do warm saline rinses.
Also complete your course of medicines.
Visit your dentist for regular check-up.

Take Care
Regards
Dr.Neha

Hi,
I agree with other dentists, as this tingling is due to neve injury caused during extraction.
So don't panic, it will be alright in some days.
Follow your prescription .
Take care

Welcome tot the forum. It seems you have some allergic reaction with some medicines you are taking after extraction. Please consult you dentist for review as early as possible.
