Burning Sensation In Lower Lip, Tingling, Lower Jaw Hurts, Incorrect Orthodontics, Done Extensive Mandible Surgery

I have had a persistent burning and tingling sensation in my lower lip for the last coupe of days. Also my left lower jaw hurts on the medial /under side of the jaw bone. That side of my mandible has a capped tooth and the tooth behind it absent. I had extensive mandible/maxilla surgery many years ago after orthodontics done incorrectly which left a couple of wires in place. What are the possible options/ risks?

Hello and welcome.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

After going through the complete history, it appears that there could be an infection in the affected jaw.

you might require antibiotics and analgesics.

Also it is best to get it clinically evaluated.Therefore i would advise you to make a visit to your dentist.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.

hello.
Welcome to HCM

After going through your past dental history and your present chief complaint i.e pian on the medial side of the left lower jaw along with the presence of capped tooth, it is best advisable if you visit to a dentist and get an OPG done ..

The Xray will give a more clear picture and confirmed diagnosis.

Hope you get well soon...Take care...Stay healthy.
