Answers:
My oral surgeon told me about the possibility of damaging a certain nerve in your jaw while extracting the teeth!. By damaging this nerve you can have numbness on one side of the mouth for a very long time!. This is most likely what happened to you!. I would go back to the oral surgeon for an evaluation to see if the nerve was damaged and if there is anything you can do about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
