My Teeth Just Went Numb Too
Hey, did you ever find out what was causing the numb teeth thing? Three days ago the upper left teeth in my mouth went numb and still are numb now. I just got back from the doctor and she thinks it is probably related to my tmj and clenching my teeth at night. Or it could be a sinus infection causing some pressure on my maxillary nerve, or something else wrong with the nerve that they don't know about yet. So, I am starting antibiotics to rule out a sinus infection and also valium to help me stop clenching my teeth at night and relax my muscles a bit. If that works, i'll try to treat the tmj better, otherwise it means there is some nerve problem... I found some information online that seems to fit my history and may explain some things, if it isn't just a tmj problem, it could be cavitations or nico (neuralgia inducing osteonecrosis) lesions. I hope not because the surgery to take care of it looks painful and yucky.

But did you find out more ever?
