Numb tongue after tooth extraction
I've got my two wisdom teeth removed two days back. I was given a local anesthesia.. However, my tongue is still numb and heavy from anesthesia. When will it be back to normal?

It depends from a person to person the amount of numbness from anaesthesia it will produce.
It may happen that u have a longer time to normalize than another person.
Next Steps
Wait for another week and then if the numbness doesn't subside u can visit ur dentist.

It would take a week's time to get things normal. Follow ur dentist post extraction instructions and everything will be fine.

Follow the dentist s instruction. Hopefully everything will normalise within a week. If not so visit ur dentist n get it checked. Normally local anaesthesia subsides within a day
