Your experience of temporary anaesthesia or paraesthesia after an atraumatic surgical wisdom teeth removal will certainly subside in few weeks. 90% of lingual nerve injuries are temporary and get better within eight weeks. Any functional deficits like speech and mastication difficulties, tongue and cheek biting, taste dysfunction are the symptoms of permanent lingual nerve injury which you don?t have. So ignore it.

Dear Lybrate user, I understand that you are experiencing discomfort. It takes time to heal. Please understand that it's a surgical procedure, and there are nerves near in your jaws. That produce this tingling sensation. It's a normal response that some people experience after wisdom tooth extraction treatment. As your dentist said it takes around three months. Because every person's health is different ,the exact time can't be predicted.

I think it's not common, I should take a second opinion,

It might be a mild case of nerve paresthesia, this will last for a few days to weeks and you will be alright. There not much to worry about. Only for a very small number of people does the condition becomes permanent.
