Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

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 Neurobion tablet . Massage the gums and use warm saline gargling.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
