Wisdom tooth is also known as Time bomb. There are lot of nerves with an extra branch in few patients in and around such third molar teeth. Depending upon the location, position of the the tooth, and the degree of difficult surgery it is possible that the nerve has been pierced or rattled during anaesthesia or surgery which leads to your condition as known as 'Paraesthesia' of that side. It is a common adverse effect which goes away within 6 months so do not worry. You can take Neurokind Plus twice daily for 15 days & relax. You will get your taste back and numbness will dissappear.

Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process. I am not in any pain and have not smoked since the day of extraction (before). Also i know your advice will be to stop permanently but how long should i wait till i can smoke again
