Going by the description that you have mentioned it seems that you are suffering from lingual nerve paraesthesia. It is one of the complications of lower wisdom tooth extraction and is not quite uncommon. It is a reversible condition but the healing period varies from patient to patient and can range from few days to a few weeks.
You are right that it should have been explained to you as a potentiality in advance but please understand that doctors are also humans and an x-ray does not give the entire picture, and practically speaking, such sequel cannot always be predicted.
The only advise we can give you now is to have patience till the healing is over. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards.
