Had a tooth extracted under general and local anesthesia at 8 am.  My face is just a numb and lopsided as it was when I got home- still drooling when I try to drink.  Its now after midnight and I am not sleepy.  I am always asleep by 10.  My legs were restless or twitchy in bed when I was trying to fall asleep 2 hrs ago.  Whats going on?  Thanks
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have undergone extraction now feel numbness in face this can be due to effect of local anesthesia. Don't be worried so much don't take stress this effect can last for 10 -12 hours. Take medication prescribed by your dentist and follow post-operative instructions if you won't get relief then consult oral surgeon for follow up. Hope this will help you.
