Hello and welcome, Extraction of tooth sometimes ends witChatDoctorplications like pain and swelling post extraction. Usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection.  After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing.  I would suggest you to start with an antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist, which helps in subsiding the swelling and relives post extraction pain.  Follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse. Numbness developed is due to the anesthetic solution injected in the oral tissues before extraction. This sensation is temporary, and it subsides with time don't worry. I hope this helps, take care.
