The duration
No general statement can be made about the duration of the numbness. It depends on the underlying disease. A numbness after tooth surgery should disappear after a few days. In case of a stroke, the symptoms can last a lifetime if the therapy is not initiated in time. In the case of multiple sclerosis, on the other hand, the symptoms may disappear but reappear after a certain time.
The prognosis
No clear answer can be given for the prognosis either. It also depends on the underlying disease. The prognosis of a sensitivity disorder after dental surgery is very good.
The prognosis of a folic acid deficiency is also good if the appropriate therapy is initiated. In contrast, the prognosis of a stroke varies greatly from individual to individual. It depends on the affected brain area, the start of therapy and the rehabilitation measures.
