A member asked:
My wisdom tooth was removed by operation 10 yrs ago. the side of the head where the tooth was removed is still feeling like numb. pls help.

Parasthesis: One of the risks of any surgery is parasthesia (numbness). The time to address this is immediately post-surgical. 10 years out is a bit late. Advise consulting w a Neurologist.
