Hello Forum,
And first and foremost, a big thank you for the professionals who monitor this site, and offer answers and emotional support for those of us who are experiencing something so very new and foreign to us.
Here is my question: I had all the upper teeth removed 7 days ago and immediately had a temporary set of teeth placed in my mouth. The pain has been unreal for me for 5 full days. Has gotten a tiny bit better in the last 48 hrs., but the lower half of my nose, lower part of my cheeks, gums and upper lip still remain numb from the procedure. And the discomfort in the upper gum is crazy, even as I write this post.
Is it normal to STILL be numb after 7 full days out of the procedure ?, and if it is a possibility, how long will these conditions exist ? Will I ever regain the feeling of normalcy in these areas ? Am going back to dentist tomorrow AM, but would love some ammunition prior to arriving there tomorrow morning.
Thanks so much for your time.
