What Causes Tingling Sensation In Mouth After Wisdom Tooth Extracted ?

had 4 wisdom teeth extracted 2 months ago. At first my lip and chin were numb but after a month a tingling sensation came back. Now it feels like a constant pressure and burning and when i smile it feels like something breaking and now these vein like things are standing out in my lip. What is going on?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the numbness or tingling sensation could be because of the injury to the inferior alveolar nerve while surgically removing wisdom teeth which are deep seated close to the nerve. nothing to worry the sensation is recovering. if i am your treating doctor i would have treated you with nerve regenerating drugs like multivitamin (neurobion capsules). be careful when you consume hot and cold things because your lip will be numb.. if the sensation doesnot turn back visit your dental surgeon. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
