Suggest Treatment For Numb Face After Dental Surgery

Hi, I have numbness in my face after dental surgery with numbing agent used to numb my mouth. The dental surgery was over a year ago. The left side of my face, including the left side of my lips, has numbness. Is there any medical procedure, supplement, or anything that can help this situation?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The numbness(anesthesia or parasthesia) can be secondary to surgery or any injury to the nerve by trauma or any injection at the site of nerve.
You can take a nerve regenerating drugs like multivitamins particularly, vitamin B6 and B12. Take care of the part which is numb from hot, cold and sharp objects, because you will not be able to make out the sensation. Consult a neurophysician and take a opinion and get it treated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

If required nerve grafting can be done.
