Call ur surgeon: Post operative complications such as this need to be immediately addressed. There may be medications or other therapies indicated to heal along the healing process. Please don't delay, make the call....

Not unusual: I'm sure the Oral Surgeon discussed this with you ahead of time, or gave you written material that discussed possible complications. Usually numbness is transient, but not always. Discuss this with the specialist that you saw for your surgery.
