This happened to my friend.. The cause is related to the doctor nicking a nerve when giving you the numbing shot.. We read that is usually goes away quicking, and it did for him.. Other time is does take quite a while for the body to repair the damage to the nerve.. Just hang on though, the tingling should eventually go away..Health Question & Answer
That is a possibility after wisdom teeth extraction.. The nerve in that area has been irritated or damaged.. Damage to the nerve can cause a loss of feeling.. I had some numbness in the right half of my lower jaw for a couple months after I had my wisdom teeth out..Health Question & Answer
