Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query numbness in tooth and gums post impetigo treatment will resolve as it mainly affects area of mouth without teeth or with dentures. As you are almost recovered from your condition i would suggest you to take few preventive measures to prevent reoccurence such as

1) Wash your face daily with natural facewash or merarub.

2) Avoid frequent touching and pricking of skin of cheeks.

3) Use antihistamine and steroidal ointment.

Maintain proper oral hygiene to prevent gum diseases. Keep checking vitality test of tooth.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
