Hi lybrate-user, the numbness on day of procedure ,may persist for few hours ,but usually reverts to normal. It depends how the wisdom teeth was positioned before extraction, it's proximity to nerve may predispose you for persisting numbness. Hopefully you must be made few x-rays ,which wud help the doctor to plan the removal. Please consult the doctor for follow up.
