Paresthesia: Paresthesia, or prolonged numbness is a rare occurrence after dental anesthetics and it usually will go away. Call your dentist about this ASAP. They know the procedure that was done and can best help you.

Ever since starting a full face mask for cpap I've had a numb chin. It's like when your dental anesthesia wares off because it presses on your chin. I switched to a nasal mask and hoping for relief. Could this be anything else? No stroke, I can smile?
