I just had all 4 of my Wisdom Teeth removed ( at the dentist....no oral surgeon ) It has been a few days....but my lower lip and chin are stll numb ( as are about 4 teeth ) Ive already been back to the dentist and know that it is nerve damage ( He has only seen one other case in 20 yrs practice ) My question is this....Has anybody else out there had this problem....and if so; how long did it take to resolve ? My dentist said his previous case took 2 months to regain feeling.

IT WILL HEAL, BUT WILL TAKE UP TO A YEAR TO COME BACK, IF YOU FEEL A KIND OF SENSATION LIKE PINS AND NEEDLES IN THE AREA, ITS A GOOD SIGN, IT MEANS YOUR NERVES ARE TRYING TO HEAL.

yes it should slowly improve. it can take up to 8 months to get back to normal (that is the longest, but hopefully it will be 2 months or less like your dr says). you may want to take supplements that improve nerve function.

Can I ask if you got the feeling back? How long did it take?
