So I have a wisdom tooth due to be extracted - it sits no where near that nerve that people get scared about... Should I expect any numbness or tingling at all after it's out, considering this ?

There can be a lingering tingling feeling or numbness after the extraction, due to the local anesthesia. This should gradually decrease and disappear. Usually after a few hours.
