Question:
My girlfriend had 6 teeth extracted and is now numb on the left side, teeth, gums, lip and chin. It has already been 2 weeks.

Will it ever come back and if not, who should she go to, to fix the problem? ...Visitor from IN

Answer:
Many oral maxillofacial surgeons have the training to fix the nerve problem. They are usually on the hospital's list. I would check the nearest hospital's list.

Parathesia from extractions can happen due to trauma. Sometimes over a period of months or years sensation comes back. Otherwise they try to anastomose the nerve together.
