If the lower alveolar nerve injury occurs mostly in the case of extraction of the mandibular wisdom tooth, if the root of the mandibular wisdom tooth is close to the mandibular nerve or directly becomes the disease of the mandibular nerve, the extraction of the mandibular wisdom tooth in this case may damage the lower alveolar nerve. If the lower alveolar nerve injury may cause tooth discomfort or lead to numbness of the lower lip or jaw. Therefore, the most typical manifestation of lower alveolar nerve injury is lower lip numbness, which may generally recover for about half a year, and of course may also be permanent numbness.
