Any dentists about??

[stoppinattwo]

have had toothache on my jaw right hand side...am on AB's but most likely it needs to come out, However....I woke up this morning and the skin on my face along my jaw left hand side is numb??? it has been all day, as if I have had a numbing injection??, it also feels a bit swollen but looking in the mirror I cant notice it and nobody has commented...any ideas

...it doesnt hurt or anything...just feels a bit strange

???

get to the dentist and get it out .

Sounds like the infection's pushing on the nerve. You really do need to go to the dentist. Sorry

sorry that was a bit blunt
occasionally my patients experience this.

to date has always resolved following extraction

yep, certainly sounds like a nerve has been affected, hope you get it sorted quickly, tooth ache/ mouth probs are vile

Noooooo this is the other side of my mouth...the original tooth ache has gone, I think due to the AB's

this morning it is still numb on the other side, I was wondering if it was actualy related to the toothache as it was on the other side of my jaw/face or whether is was cooincidence??

nerves are run all over the place so I wouldn't rule it out.

that is what DP has just said oh i hope my dentist can fit me in this morning he is open till 12

thanks kittywise ...jasper and scrooged
