Your experience of temporary anaesthesia or paraesthesia after an atraumatic surgical wisdom teeth removal will certainly subside in few more months. 90% of lingual nerve injuries are temporary and get better within few months. 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

Do you feel any numbness on half of your lower your lip as well? Was the numbness worst initially and has gotten better or is it the same since then? Do you have no sensation at all? Do you have similar sensations at your extremities as in your feet legs or hands? Or only your tongue? The nerve heals the slowest in case of damge. Generally a nerve damage can take up to a year to recover and regain its sensation.
