<s>[INST] I have tingling feeling on the lower left side, dentist took xray he said it looks fine, but he could do either a root canal   or crown said a filling would not be good cause it's such a big filling and it's a molar. I don't want a root canal or crown, I just had two teeth pulled two weeks ago, help! [/INST] Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern.  As per your query tingling sensation in mouth tooth removal is because of nerve damage which occurs after heavy force used while extracting teeth or it could be because of wrong choice of instruments. If lip tingling also occurs along with this it is because of damage to inferior alveolar nerve. Need not to worry, this happens many a times. I would suggest you to wait for around 4-5 weeks your condition of paresthesia will resolve its own. If this does not happen other treatment method is nerve regeneration. You should visit oral surgeon and try to know the exact level of nerve injury. If it can heal its own then you should wait other wise go for nerve regeneration after proper examination.Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari </s>
