Nerve damage while tooth extraction

2022-09-26 18:15:00
I got my lower right third molar tooth extracted around 1.5 month back and the dentist had injured mandibular nerve ( probably IAN) due to which i have lost complete sensation in my right half lower lip, chin, teeth and gums. I always feel burning sensation and pain in this area. I have also taken steroids for almost 15 days but had to stop them in between as i got detected with dengue. Now i am worried when and how would i get the sensation back. What is the possible treatment of this nerve injury? Is there any exercise that might help?
