Do not worry. If the wisdom tooth is very close to the nerve during removal there may be some pressure on the nerve leading to persistsing numbness. The only thing is this will take a few weeks or more to resolve. Add neurobion tablet to accelerate healing

While surgical procedure during wisdom teeth removal some time adjacent nerve get damaged.This happens very rarely.it will take some time to get complete relieve.whatever may be, you need to have a review and get a fresh x-ray done.
