Q: I have numbless in my lip and chin

A month ago I had a bad tooth ache and used a ice bag to try numb the pain and kept it on to long It didn't cure the pain. After that date and the date I had it taken out, part of my lower lip and face around the same area is numb, if I press my skin between two fingers there is pain and the same if I bite my lower lip there is pain to. My jaw bone is ok. The numbness is below the right  side of my lip and mouth. What the cure please.

Hello jan,

 

Unfortunately we dont have any dental specialists to answer your question. If you think the pain is something a chronic pain specialist may be able handle, try asking the same question on the chronic pain site. Thankyou for your question, and sorry about the delay.
