[|Human|] I had a root canal 17 days ago and feel a numbness and tingling my chin and lower lip where the root canal was conducted.  What is causing this numbness and tingling and when can I expect it to go away?  My Dentist prescribed Methylprednisolone and antibiotics. What will these drugs to do resolve the situation?  Thanks
[|AI|]  Hello, As per your query, you have symptoms of numbness in chin after root canal treatment which seems to be due to traumatic injury or nerve injury which occurs while needle insertion, and it could be due to allergic reaction to anesthesia. Need not worry. I would suggest you to visit oral physician once and get complete examination done. The doctor can take x-ray of tooth to check underlying infection. You should visit allergy specialist once and go for allergy testing for anesthesia and start treatment accordingly. If it is due to nerve ending injury it will take time to recover. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
