I had my bottom left wisdom tooth pulled about 2 weeks ago. Last night I started to feel a slight numbness in my lower cheek. No pain but it's there and I notice it. Today it's still there, in my cheek and jaw with occasional bottom lip tingling. I looked up infection symptoms and I have none but it is kind of weird that this started 2 weeks after the procedure. I don't have insurance so I can't just go see a doctor whenever. I just need some opinions so that I can make a decision.
