<human>: Hello, I had Surgery just this Morning to get My All of my Wisdom Teeth and 12 Year Molars Removed. The appointment was at 8:15 in the Morning and all Numbness has gone except from the corners of my bottom lip down to my chin, it also feels swollen. So is thete anything I can do about this but wait and put an Ice Bag on and off of it?
<bot>: Hello & welcome, Numbness in the corner of bottom of lip & chin here might be due to residual effect of local anesthesia.  You just will have to take care of not biting your lip, or you may injure it unless total effect of local anesthesia subsides.  If this numbness remains even 24 Hrs after the surgery, then you should visit your dentist & get thoroughly examined to rule out any nerve injury during the surgery which is common complication during wisdom tooth removal procedure.  Keep oral hygiene optimum. Take Care.
