Re: Numbness..new question To:PAm

[Guest guest]

Hi , I was the same with my expansion - no numbness anywhere

except my gums. I think we were lucky, I met a girl in my Drs

office who had it 3 years ago and she said her upper face and nose

was all numb, and she didn't get back all the feeling in her nose.

So I feel fortunate. I didn't get back all feeling in my upper

gums, but I did get back enough that I could feel it when I brushed

my teeth and flossed - and after a while you just sort of forget

about it.
