How long does it take for a bruised nerve to heal?

Question

I have a nerver that is bruised from my wisdom teeth being taken out. How long does it take for a bruised lingual/aveolar nerve to heal completely?

Answer 1

This is ENTIRELY individual. The best case is 3-4 weeks.

Answer 2

How do you know that the nerve is bruised? Who told you? What signs and symptoms are you experiencing?

Nevertheless, if a nerve is injured, whether it heals or not, or how long it takes to heal depends on the severity of the injury, and of course, your body's own healing capacity.

If you want a real detailed answer, please consult your local dental surgeon or oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
