A member asked:

Hi. i had my wisdom teeth out 2 weeks ago and got dry socket and parathesia. the dry socket feels ok, but i have pain in my chin. is that nerve damage?

Possibly: Although there may be other causes, chances are it's related to your surgery and the post-surgical complications. Return to the Dentist or Oral Surgeon who did the surgery for a reevaluation ASAP.
