Wisdom tooth removal?

I got both of lower back wisdom teeth removed a week ago , today I cant feel the left side of my tongue still a week later . they never had me sign an consent form , saying that you could have permanent to temp numbness in the chin /tongue I went back in for my weekly checkout they tried to get me to sign the consent form.. I said no way !!! you should of had me sign that before the operation , also the guy that says hes an oral surgeon is just a DDS my wisdom teeth were impacted they another dentist before said I need an oral surgeon , which this guy claimed to be , but wasn’t . when I looked him up .


So right now I’m still in pain and cant feel the left of my tongue which is numb like I got shot with Novocain right in it


someone else said i need to see an nuerologist to find out if i have perm nerve damage what do I do ?

Wisdom tooth removal?
There is nothing to do to make it go away faster, nor is there anything you can do to create further damage. Often in small framed women the numbness may resolve faster when the swelling decreases as the nerve to the lower jaw passes through one of the jaw muscles before it enters the bone, and swelling in this area can cause you to have a numb lip as well. Tingly itchy feeling is a good sign that it is resolving, but the next stage may be a period of sensitivity where cold things feel colder and hot things hotter on the effected side, and you may occasionally feel an "electric" tingliness which means the nerve is in its final stage of healing. Let the doc keep an eye on it with you.








Usually numbness after wisdom tooth removal affects only the lower jaw and lip area on the side of the extraction, not the whole side of the face. Thankfully numbness after wisdom teeth removal is rare, and when it does happen often will resolve itself within the first month or two. I hope you stay in touch with your doctor, and discuss with him what your options are available.








I hope this helped
