Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth now you feel numbness, Paresthesia happens in some patients when needle of syringe hit nerve , during giving anaesthesia, dont worry it remains for few months only,
You do is take one tablet multivitamin once daily for one month
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
