I have extra long roots. They said it was hard to get them out. I had numbness on left side of face for one year. Should I see a cosmetic surgeon or dentist?

Answer: I had all wisdom teeth removed. My face is round when it used to be square. Would a cosmetic surgeon or dentist be best option?
The symptoms you have told are not of any infection. They are signs of proper healing wound. The socket does take some time to heal up after the tooth removal. Although there is no major pain after 3-4 days in most cases, you may take about 2 weeks to start feeling absolutely normal on that side...
