What Causes Numbness In Lower Jaw And Chin With Sores Inside Bottom Llp?

my boyfriend has a broken tooth on the bottom of his mouth. It has been causing him some discomfort, but now his lower jaw and front of chin all feels numb. He has small sores on the inside bottom lip and he says the sensation is spreading down his neck and up to his cheek.

Thanks for using health care magic.

Read your query.

The numbness may be caused by the abscess formation which is putting pressure on the nerves in that area.

For the pain you can advise him to take painkiller and advise him to visit a local dentist who will examine and take radiograph ,will do the needful treatment.

Ask him to saline gargles and not to apply anything hot from outside.

hope this was beneficial.

Thanks and regards.
