Once again, this posted to the wrong place. :S
Tomorrow will be three weeks since my wisdom tooth removal. My pain is pretty much gone, but the numbness remains. I started noticing that the tingling and bubbling sensations were less, but I don't think that is a good thing. I am now trying essential oils from Young Living essential oils to see if they will help. When I put the oils on my jaw and a bit in the back of my mouth, I notice that my chin begins tingling a lot more. Since I have heard that tingling is a sign of healing, I am hoping this is a good sign. I leave for Africa in one week! Hopefully I will at least be able to notice some significant improvement before we leave to keep my hopes up for a full recovery! :)
What the heck? This posted to the wrong place. It was supposed to be on the numbness after wisdom tooth removal post. Is there no way to delete my post? Sorry!
Just updating my progress. Most of my pain is gone and I can open my mouth again. But the numbness is still there making eating a chore, and sometimes talking takes more effort than I feel like it should. There is not a lot of tingling anymore, just some bubbling feelings and numbness. I am able to forget about the numbness if I am not currently talking or eating for the most part. Just feeling a bit down that I haven't seen much progress. Hopefully, I will have better news to report next time.
