Sometimes when lower wisdom teeth are removed, the nerve that is used by the tongue is bumped or bruised. It is most often temporary, but it sometimes can take several months to heal. Let the dentist who removed the teeth know about this complication.
no but if it is numb then there is nerve damage
Yes there is a problem. It means that you have a major cavity and you should have your wisdom tooth checked right away. The dentist would either tell you to do a filling on it if it is out enough and if the cavity is not too deep. The other alternative would be to extract it.If the tooth is well out and the cavity is into the pulp chamber (nerve), you might save your tooth by doing a root canal on it. That needs to be discussed with the dentist.By Cyberanto

It is a medical test in which a small portion of a damaged nerve is surgically removed and examined under a microscope
Your third molars, or wisdom teeth as they are often called, are supplied by the inferior alveolar nerve (lower thirds) and the posterior superior alveolar nerve (upper thirds), which are branches of the Trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve.
It depends on how badly damaged the nerve is. If it is completely severed, the likelihood of restoration of complete function is low. If the nerve is simply bumped or touched, it will usually heal on its own within 12 months. The most frequent nerve damaged during wisdom tooth extraction is actually the mandibular nerve, which runs through the lower jaw and provides sensation to all the lower teeth on one side.
Yes, it can. It can range from a minor problem to a deadly one. Talk to a neurologist.
You should first see a doctor to confirm you truly have a pinched nerve in your foot. if it is a pinched nerve, avoid all strenuous activity until the pain subsides. Often, taping or bandaging the foot for a few days will take care of the problem.
It happens. Was/is it a lower wisdom tooth? The inferior alveolar nerve travels through the lower jaw, this is the nerve the dentist "numbs" to work on a bottom tooth. Lower wisdom tooth problems often cause an ear ache. It could be an infection, it could be the nerve was bruised, it could be do to normal healing with a little swelling. Tell the dentist/oral surgeon.
The pain is normal for up to two weeks. If there is a tingling sensation though that may mean that the doctor nicked your the nerve that runs along the jaw, that might not ever go away.
