I have had my lower right wisdom tooth taken out 4 weeks ago. I am still experiencing numness on my front 4 lower right front teeth. The dentist told me to take Nervmax and massage the gums. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or should i get another expert dentist look at it? Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The numbness is due to prolonged anesthesia which usually happens due to any injury to the nerve during injection or due to trauma to nerve during the extraction. This numbness usually gets better with time, and you just have to relax. Usually the time cannot be predicted for this as it takes its own course. Just relax, take a healthy diet, and you can consult your local doctor and take vitamin B and C supplement, or Erosion tablet. Massage the gums and use warm saline gargling. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
