Complication of wisdom tooth extraction - paraesthesia?

I got my lower left wisdom tooth extarcted last week. Now I'm having complication of it - Paraesthesia of lower right lip and chin. It took how long to recover? Any methods or medication that can help?

Complication of wisdom tooth extraction - paraesthesia?
I assume what your asking is about loss of feeling in the chin and lip. I also had this on one half of my lip and it took about a month to go away. The doctor said he bruised the nerve when trying to get the tooth off around the nerve. I went back two or three times and let him prick my lip with a toothpick basicly. I guess the time to heal depends on how badly the nerve was damaged and the kind of damage. You should ask/tell your about it.
Reply:you could have damaged a nerve and your gum hasn't formed a proper blood clot area. you should see a dentist asap. it could be dry socket (alveolar osteitis), which can cause you to lose sensation in lower jaw or side of cheek, especially with lower wisdom tooth extraction.
Reply:consult that doctor( DENTIST)-- generally no problem
