Suggest Remedy For Jaw Numbness
about 2 week ago I cracked a molar I was told I need to either have a root cannal if the crack is not too bad or have it pulled if it cannot be saved. about 4 hrs ago the lower half of my jaw started to fell numb and tingly can this also be a side effect of the tooth being cracked?

Dear Sir/ Madam,
If there was a crack in the molar it need an immediate attention as it is a primary tooth for mastication.
Now you are feeling numbness and tingling sensation, this may be due to spread of infection to the nerve of the jaw passing near to the tooth.
I suggest to go to the dentist as soon as possible because it can be cured at this stage with proper investigations.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
There could be a damage to some nerve tissue, i would suggest you to consult to an Oral Surgeon get an X-ray of the tooth and plan for its removal.
At home take tab almox C TDS, tab Nimi TDS, tab avil BD for three to five days.
Take multivitamin suplements daily for 30 days.
