Q. I just recently had all 4 wisdom teeth removed along with one more molar that was ruined on my lower right side. Its been 3 days since the surgery and now I still can’t feel the left side of my lower lip and my jaw hurts quite bad , its a pain that is making my lower left teeth ache also. Any advice or tips?

A. I would recommend returning to your dentist as you may have a dry or infected socket and require a dressing in the socket or an antibiotic

At the appointment bring to your dentist’s attention the lack of feeling and they can assess the cause

Kind regards
