Numbness

Numbness

I had a tooth removed a month ago, it got infected after extraction and I was given antibiotics. My gum has been numb ever since, its not as noticeable in the morning but as the day goes on I am increasingly aware of it. Could I have a nerve severed during the extraction, what should I do.

Seeing a neurologist is advised.
