Numbness after dental implant
I had my tooth implant 3 days back; there is numbness in my right side part (lips, teeth and cheek); doctor advised to take nurokind plus tablet but I still don't see any change? Is this a permanent issue or will be normal again? I'm worried about this please suggest any medication I can take to get back to normal.

Continue with the medication advised by your doctor.
Normally numbness is temporary.
Do get a cbct done of that region to check.
