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.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
Should wear of within a couple of hours.This applies to local anesthetic used for all dental procedures.
depends can be about 5-7 hours until all the numbness is gone
If there is nerve damage, it can last forever. If it's just numbing medication, then about 1-2 hours.
about 6 to 8 hours

You do not necessarily have to have your wisdom teeth pulled if your mouth is big enough to fit them. In some cases, the teeth will be fine but in other cases they will grow in a manner that causes damage to your bite or causes the bite to become misaligned.
yes if you want to feel the pain and receive infections to the mouth cavities
It is safe to go in a hot tub after getting wisdom teeth pulled however you should avoid getting the water into your mouth. Hot water allows the growth of bacteria and may increase the risk of infection.

You should not rinse your mouth if the hole from getting your wisdom teeth pulled is not yet healed. It could wash out the blood clot and cause a dry socket.
It's not necessary for you to get your wisdom teeth removed if they are correctly positioned in your mouth and do not cause any pain or dental problems. Visit Wisdomteethsydney.com.au
Wisdom teeth get pulled out to prevent pain and discomfort. If the wisdom teeth don't have enough room in the back of your mouth and they grow in they will push your existing teeth out of the way and cause them to be mashed together. 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.
If your mouth is sore and you haven't been brushing, that could be why. If you have been brushing, go immediately to your dentist, it could be an infection
NO! Taking out your wisdom teeth is orthodox but offers no significant advantages over leaving your wisdom teeth in. However, many orthodontists think that for those with a smaller mouth it's the best thing to do.
They do if their teeth have impacted.
Before I had braces on, it was suggested that I have my wisdom teeth removed, so I did. It could however depend on the individuals teeth, mine were quite crowded or as they call it impacted. You'll be glad you got braces, good for you. Very often, if wisdom teeth have no room to erupt, it is recommended to extract them following an orthodontic treatment.
