Anybody got permanent numbness from wisdom teeth removal?

The oral surgeon said I may get numbness, possibly permanent, when I get my wisdom teeth removed. Would like to hear others experiences so I can prepare myself.

Incidence is rare, however, if it should happen, pharmacological intervention may help resume normal function.

I've been told I'm at higher risk than most people because I am 30 years old. If there are statistics for my age range I'd like to know since I could not find any.
I also have xrays https://puu.sh/wDWsg/ade2ffc904.jpg
