Tooth Ache, Numbness In Chin, Lower Lip. Taken Painkillers. Tiredness, Blood On Pillow. Need For Concern?

Hi, I have been having some lower tooth ache (front teeth) accompanied with slight numbness in the chin and lower lip. Last night I had tremendous pain in my lower teeth, all accross the lower jaw this time that i was forced to take pain killers, this morning my chin and lip is completely numb / dead. There was some blood on my pillow a few nights ago and I am extremely tired / fatigued of late.
I did some research this morning and came accross information that made me worry abit - "Tooth Pain and Numb Chin as the Initial Presentation of Sytematic Malignancy".....should I be concerned??

Dear friend.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

please do not be worried.Definitely you require to visit your dentist for decayed teeth and gum problems,but it is nowhere related to malignancy.

First get your x ray done for concerned teeth and then based upon its results treatment can be done.

Numbness and pain you experienced,is due to deep tooth decay and bacterial infection there.

Therefore please visit your dentist soon.

Let me know for further help.

Thanks.

Take care.

Cause of toothache as well as numbness has to evaluated and treated accordingly.

X-ray investigation will help to evaluate the cause of toothache.
