Ever since my wisdom teeth were pulled in May 2006 (it is now February 2007), i have never fully regained feeling in my bottom teeth.
Since they had to cut the teeth out, since they were growing into the bone, i think they cut or injured some nerves. But i was reassured that it would just take a long time for it to come back.
It's not coming back is it?

it's not dry socket. i had all four wisdom teeth impacted so they were all cut out, and my two front bottom teeth have been numb since. they thought a nerve was pinched, but i still havent regained 100% feeling back.

It could be possible that there was nerve injury. The nerves do regenerate but very slowly and can take up to a year for them to get fully regenerated. It may even take longer sometimes, but it does tend to come back.

go see your dentist. sometimes you can get a dry socket.
