I had 2 wisdom teeth extracted on nov 20th. Number 1 was taken to save the tooth next to it(recommended by my dentist-asap) The other one was recommended by the oral surgeon (to whom I was referred) Although there was no immediate problem, the doctor thought one might happen later - sometime. Now,1 week and 30 tabs of percoset later I still have total numbness in half of my lower lip,my teeth and my chin, All of this is on the left side and seems to be in a common lateral line This tooth was impacted and the surgery was done under general anesthesia with some stitches required .There is external brusing evident(on my lower throat and lower left jaw).
My question: Is this a sign that nerve damage has occured and if so,what are my options now to rectify
