[|Human|] Hi,earlier today I had 4 teeth extracted and I had a few needles to nb the pain. 12 hours later and a portion of my lip is numb and swolloem, the small area has also risen and is tinged white. No other part of my mouth seems to effected but this area on my bottom lip.what is it and is it a concern?
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. After extraction, numbness of lips is quite common due to mild pricking of nerve during injection or extraction. Usually the numb portion seems like swollen as well. This is a temporary situation which goes away with time. Please do not take too hot or cold things as it may burn the numb area. Do not chew or bite your lip. Take multivitamin tablet for 2 weeks. Massage lip with gum paint to increase blood supply. Maintain good diet. In case the numbness persists after 2-3 weeks, consult your dentist. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
