A member asked:
When will numbness wear off after wisdom teeth taken out?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Wisdom teeth: I bet it is already getting better since the numbness is usually from the effects of a local anesthesia and they last from a few hours to a day. If it persists call your dentist.
