Hi , after an abscess and a course of antibiotics , I finally had infected tooth removed the other day , everything is back to normal apart from my bottom lip and chin on the left side , I was wondering how long this took to clear up and feel normal .

Which tooth was it?  What are you experiencing on your lip and chin?  Numbness?

It's hard to say because it depends on your metabolism.  It also depends on how much anesthetic was administered.  For most people the numbness leaves within a few hours.
