Hello Dear
First of all dont worry and be relaxed. I will provide you with my best possible advice.
I have gone through your query, no need to worry much, its a condition known as paresthesia or prolonged anesthesia.
I would like to ask few questions:
-Was the extraction traumatic??
-How much sensation you got back till now??
It happens few times due to any injury to the nerve during injection or due to trauma to nerve during the extraction, because sometimes the root tip of the wisdom tooth is in very close approximation of the main nerve, which may get injured by the instruments during extraction. But no need to worry much because usually MOST PARESTHESIAS RESOLVE OR STARTS TO RESOLVE WITHIN 8 WEEKS WITHOUT ANY TREATMENT AND MAY LAST UP TO A YEAR OR MORE.
THE RECOMMENDED MEDICINE FOR THIS IS "TINCTURE OF TIME". It means that sometimes in medicine the best treatment is to do nothing but to wait for an ailment to cure itself.

I will advice you to visit your dentist on regularly (say once in 2 months) for regular follow-up till you get the sensation back to normal. If not getting relieved from the symptom, you may have to consult a neurologist and discuss the same.

I hope I answered your query. If there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are free to ask me any time.
Take Care

Regards
