Why Do I Have Numbness On The Left Side Of My Face Which Is Warm To Touch Along With Teeth Pain To The Side?
Question: I have a numbness on the left side of my face. My face is warm to the touch and my teeth hurt on this side
Brief Answer:
A dental problem to consider first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First thing to consider when a patient presents with such symptoms is a problem with teeth.
An infection of the upper teeth roots, or recent dental work for example may irritate the trigeminal nerve branches resulting this way in sensory disturbances on the face.
So, getting evaluated first by your Dentist is necessary to better your condition.
If the Dentist will exclude any problems with your teeth, you should contact your neurologist and get further evaluation for a probable compressed trigeminal nerve during its pathway.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
