Depends...
If numbness caused of anaesthetic, then will go away from between 3-12 hours depending on type of agent used. If numbness or paraesthesia caused by damage to inferior alveolar nerve or lingual nerve, numb or altered sensation may be permanent.

∙ 13y agoI had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted 3 days ago and my bottom lip and gums on the left side is still numb. When does that go away? It's driving me crazy!!
--- Whoa, three days is way too long.. Sounds like you have some potential nerve damage.

∙ 11y agoI had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out 5 days ago. I am a 19 y/o girl. My numbness lasted for about 24hrs. It all depends on the individual person. I was put to sleep so that may be a factor. For me, it lasted for about 24 hours and then the pain came on like a shooting rocket. I am having mild pain 5 days later.
But overall it depends on the person but most are at the least 6hrs and at the most 48 hrs but the steady average is 24hrs.

∙ 13y agoI had my Wisdom teeth pulled when I was 15, I'm 27 now. Most of the numbness went away after the swelling went down, though I still have a dime sized area on my jaw line that never regained sensation. I have spoken with my dentist about it a few time, most recently was earlier this year, and he said while my case is rare, it can happen.

Wisdom teeth get pulled out to prevent pain and discomfort.

They can also grow in sideways, this is known as being 'impacted'. Sores can grow on your gums and become infected, leading to major problems down the road.
