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?
