Prolonged numbness after wisdom teeth removal.

I am 15 (I know some of you are going to tell me to get off because I’m too young but I don’t know where else to ask SO PLEASE HELP ME) and I recently got my wisdom teeth removed. I had 2 on the bottom that were removed. I managed to get the teeth removed before they impacted anything luckily. It has been 7-8ish hours since I had the procedure and the right side of my tongue (Fun fact: when I was eating yogurt it tasted really warm on the right side where it’s numb still, but cold, like its supposed to, on the not numb left side), my bottom lip, and my chin are numb still. I will try to give an update tomorrow. I've read some threads on here with other people experiencing the same thing and I’m trying to make sure it’s not nerve damage. I might be overreacting, but someone please give me an answer. I believe they used local anesthesia so that I didn’t feel the pain from the incisions and such. They put me to sleep with an IV bag if that helps anyone.
