[|Human|] Hello , I made an implants in my lower jaw to te right side.. 2 implants .. and the doctor had to open my gum surgically to remove hte remaining roots of the tooth ..this was 3 days ago .. then the doctor applied stetches and my gum is now swollwn but becoming less swollen.. my main question is that i have a numbness at my lip on the rught side for the previous 3 days .. is it rellated to the swollen gum or tthe implant is pressing on the nerve? .. i called the dentist and he told me its ok should be fine just take vit. B12! and that he didnt drill anything as he just put in on the place of the tooth!! and if it will press on the nerve it should be also with numbness in tongue.. is it true??i am 33 years old ..and healthy thank God
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The numbness in the lip could be because of the nerve injury while injecting the local anesthesia or during implant placement applying pressure over the nerve. It might take weeks to month to recover from nerve injury. Take nerve regenerating Chat Doctor.  Take care of your lip since it is numb you will not be able to appreciate hot and cold. Numbness in the tongue will not be there since it is a separate branch where the chances of injury are less. I hope my answer will help you. Take care
