Answers:
You should expect to be less numb within the next few hours.. I would not worry too much about being permanently numb.. Those cases are very rare.. I believe they use a longer lasting anesthetic to extract wisdom teeth vs.. routine fillings.. Be careful about what you eat since you may end up biting your lip and chin.. Just take plenty of rest and you should be find by tomorrow morning..Health Question & Answer

I was totally numb for around 4 hours, but by ten I had all of my feeling back.. Did you take a lot of pain meds.? That might be making you feel like you are numb, when it could be a side effect.. If things don't change soon, though, I would most definitely call the dentist.. Don't freak out.. You will be feeling pain soon enough.. Health Question & Answer
