How Long Does it Take to Recover from An Apicectomy?

Q.
I had an apicectomy done in February of last year. My mouth is still swollen and numb. How long does it take before the swelling actually goes away? My lip always feels like I have a fat lip. Some days are worse than others, it effects my speech. If it stays inflamed is there something over the counter I can take to help with the swelling? It still hurts on most days, I can’t eat on that side at all. I had this surgery in February 2015.

Hi, thank you for getting in touch. That doesn’t sound normal. You’ll need your dentist to see whats happening and maybe take an X-ray. Kind regards, Andrew.
