Specializes in Pediatrics

Nerve damage?: Feeling of cold and shaking of the mouth may indicate that during the extraction, a nerve was injured. Depending on the severity of the injury, the nerve may heal or it may not. Only time will tell. Healing can take up to 6 months to a year to regain normal sensation. If it does not, the damage may be permanent. In cases of facial paralysis, surgical nerve grafts can restore function.
