Hello,
It is completely natural to have numbness and tingling off and on for the first 3-4 weeks after surgery.  Your gum as well as your tissue starting to heal.  This can come and go.  Now if you have numbness for long period of time, over 4-6 months that would be an indication to follow up with your doctor or specialist.
