hello friend
you should go for an xray of the teeth in which you feel sensations and also go for a complete oral check up so that you can rule out the doubt whether its chin or teeth... you are not very clear in your query but i think you mentioned your age is ten if it is true then it might be possible that your permanent teeth are erupting due to which you fell that tingling sensation...my dear you have to visit a dentist and no other option but till then you can start with warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day ... also start multivitamin tablets once a day... you can apply dologel in the area you feel uncomfortable...
hope it helps

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

It is quite likely that some nerve endings might have been affected due to the tooth problem and subsequent filling. This is giving you as a tingling feeling which should resolve over the next few days. In case there is swelling or there is pain then you need to consult your dentist at the earliest.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi there
Thanks for asking your query,

By the age of ten all your permanent incisors would have erupted.tingling sensation in chin is called chin paresthesia. this can be attributed by chin or facial injury .but there are number of reasons that causes paresthesia of chin.visit your dentist immediately if your very much worried .he might do some test and physical examination and would identify the cause.

hope this helps you,
regards,

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

If the tingling sensation is associated with filled tooth,the filling has to be replaced.

If the associated area does not have any restoration,check for root exposure as well as bone loss of teeth.

Get a deep scaling done.

Exposed root or abraded area has to be restored.

Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.

Use soft bristled toothbrush as well as desensitizing tooth paste to clean your teeth.

Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome.

Thanks for sharing your concern.
As you have mentioned in your history that your age is ten.Therefore there is possibility of erupting permanent teeth there.

Do not be worried,but in my view confirm it through x ray. you must see your dentist once for this.

Meanwhile do warm saline rinses 3 to 4 times daily.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.
