How Long Does Nerve Compression Causing Lip Numbness Last After Surgery?
Hi Recently I had undergone surgery for wisdom teeth removal , unfortunatly I had a infra alveolar nerve damage and I lost sensation in my lip . My dentist says that it is due to pressure on the nerve during the surgery n it will get well in a period of time , he also prescribed me neurobion plus . My question is will my nerve compression recover n how long it takes to recover n any strong medicines to get recovery sooner . Kindly help thanks

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It depends on kind of nerve damage.
If nerve was only contused or pressed down, then a average six to eight weeks needed to full recovery of nerve function.
If nerve was damaged permanently ( was cut) the recovery doesn't occur.
There is no drug that completely restores nerve damage.
Vitamin B complex helps partially in restoring damaged nerves.
Hope this helped. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
