Will damage nerve during tooth extraction heal?
Patient: i had my left wisdom tooth extracted, yesterday. Now when i touch the Lips and the lover portion, am not getting much feel of touch. doctor suggested that it can be because of the nerve injury, as he had to cut some bones during the process of extraction, How long will it take for the nerve to regrow Doctor: Yes it will heal but it will take a minimum duration of 4-6 months depending on the amount of damage for complete healing. You can take neurobion tablets which are multivitamin b-complex tablets and would enhance the healing. Though it will take sometime for complete healing you will start getting your sensation back earlier. And it happens in many cases so don't worry about it. Take care.
