Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had tooth pain two days back and felt numbness around the chin region. So I visited a dentist and got my tooth removed, but the numbness is still there.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
It is a common postoperative complication wherein the extraction socket may turn numb temporarily due to an incorrect anesthetic technique or superficial nerve endings being impacted. So do not worry. I will prescribe you to relieve the anesthetic feeling and regrow the nerve sensation. Sometimes this may take several days, but it works.
Please tell me what antibiotic, painkiller, or tablets your dentist has prescribed you so I can continue with my prescription.
Please let me know if you need any help.
Thank you.
