Answered by Master, Doctor Dang Tien Dat - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec Ha Long International Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “What should I do about numbness around the mouth after 2 weeks of dental treatment? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your symptoms of numbness may be due to:
Regional anesthesia into the nerve. During surgery, the procedure affects nerves. In some cases, the implant violates the nerve. Therefore, you need to talk to the doctor where you treated your teeth. The numbness will last depending on the extent of nerve damage. It usually subsides and goes away within a few weeks to a few months. Particularly for the case of implantation that violates the nerve, the implant must be removed as soon as possible.
If you still have questions about numbness around the mouth after dental treatment, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
