I had a jaw surgery an year ago (because of the over bite) and I still have left nerve numbness of my lower lip and the chin on the left side. It's very uncomfortable!!! Will this numbness be permanent? Or is it there anything that I can do?
Thank you, Michelle R.

Pharmacologic intervention may help resume normal nerve function.seeing an orofacial pain specialist or neurologist is advised.
