I had my molar tooth pulled 2 months ago and now it  feels like the whole side of my mouth has changedMy teeth feel bigger my gums are tender and I keep rubbing my tounge against the side of me teethI went to my dentist and he said everything looked good and he did take a sharp edge off one of my teethbut I my mouth still feels like i described in the first part of my letter. I do have OCD and anxiety attacksI am on a zanax and prozac. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to make feel like it did before he pulled my Molar?Thanks
Hello, I can understand your concern about your pain and numbness of your tongue. As per your history, it seems to me that you are having post extraction nerve injury. This happens when the lower second or third molar is removed. You do not need to worry, it usually heals in two to three months after the expiration. One thing you need to keep in mind is, do not rub your tongue against the teeth or do not bite on it. Because of the reduced nerve supply, there are more chances of traumatic tongue ulcers. Also, take vitamin B complex supplements at least for a month once daily. Keep your mouth clean and examine your tongue daily for any traumatic ulcer. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
