Ok I'm having a moment

I had a tooth pulled today around 4pm. One side of my mouth is still droopy. It is now 9:35. I've never had numbness this long. I'm over here worrying that I will have permanent facial paralysis. Someone talk me down please.

Give it until tomorrow before you start worrying. Some people are more sensitive to the medication and that could be why it’s lasting longer! Take a deep breath!

No problem! Try stimulating the area too by just rubbing it. If you still have the numbness by 4pm tomorrow then call the office to let them know and they can tell you what to do to help it.

How is it now?

I think I would call the doctor first thing I in the morning if no improvement. I wouldn't wait till late afternoon.

Hope you are feeling better now. I have an extremely loose molar that they won't pull out which is making life very difficult - eating, sleeping etc. It's the first time that I've really wanted a tooth pulled out.
