How long does a local anaesthetic last for?

Because I had an oral operation on the 12th, and I'm STILL all numb.
Is this normal, or should I do something about it?

Call the doctor at whateverplace you had this operation.

Yeah, that's definitely not normal. Depending on how invasive the procedure was, you might have a touch of nerve damage, which can often heal itself over time. In any case, I would take LtMarvel's advice and get in contact with your oral surgeon before the week end.

Keep us posted.

Crap, I just rang the office, but they were closed, and it's friday here in Australia.
By the way, all I had was a tooth cut out and my gum stitched up. I don't see why my jaw should still be numb from just that..
Hmm..

They probably bruised a nerve in the process. I had a major oral surgery on March the 10th, and my lip is still numb. It was 4 hours, so they probably hacked and knocked a few nerves.
