A member asked:
What to do if i just had 3 teeth pulled and my mouth is still numb. i have a gauze in my mouth but it really itches.. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: If you just had your teeth pulled those sensations seem normal and should go away within 12 to 24 hours. If not call your dentist. The gauze can be removed when the bleeding has stopped.
