How Long Will the Numbness from My Wisdom Tooth Extraction Last?

I just got home from having all four wisdom teeth removed and my lower lip, tongue, and chin are numb.
How long is this going to last?

Suggestion:

The anesthesia will wear off in a few hrs. but depending on how close they were to your nerve you could lose feeling in your chin, lip etc. for a week or more. That can be normal. Just means your nerve is bruised. But if it isn't bruised, you should get feeling back by the end of the day!
