When will I feel my lip again?

How long will my mouth stay numb after getting my wisdom teeth out? Its been 4 days already! lol. I can’t feel the right side of my lip or chin. Its getting so annoying that when I eat I have to constantly check to see if I’m drooling on that side to where now the skin is coming off and bleeding… but I still cant feel it. Whats up?!? Thanks

Answer #1

its been 6 days and its still as bad… I dont know what to do because my foster mom says im just want to get attention… which isnt true… because I cant feel my right side and its a lot more swollen then the left… always has since the surgery. I dont know what to do…

Answer #2

That’s not normal, your not supposed to feel numbness for up to 5 days afterwords, if he tells you not to worry, contact another one.

Answer #3

Yeah I don’t know. Its now 5 days and I still can’t feel it. I now found out that I can’t feel the gums on that side either! So strange!!! I don’t know what to do. My foster mom says its normal and to not worry but how can I sit here not being able to feel a part of my face and not worry? I don’t know. Its just getting annoying.

Answer #4

…contact your surgeon… I didn’t have that problem when mine were extracted.

Answer #5

…that sounds like possible nerve damamage, or you just have some REALLY powerful pain killers. You should consult the oral surgeon who performed the extractions.
