[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query numbness in teeth and gums after molar extraction can be because of the nerve injury either while giving injection i.e. anesthesia or while removing the tooth. Nothing to be panicked about. I would suggest you to consult an oral physician and get it examined. Meanwhile you can take a nerve regenerating Chat Doctor.  Be careful about the areas which are numb particularly when you consume hot food. It will take few weeks to recover. Maintain oral hygiene.
