What Is The Treatment For Intermittent Numbness In The Cheek And Eye?
Hi. I have been experiencing intermittent numbness of my left cheek under my eye, left temple area and left top of head. I don t experience it when I sleep and seems to be more prevalent as the day goes on. I do have to get a wisdom tooth pulled on that side of my mouth (lower tooth) and I see I may have an issue with a tooth in the back left upper mouth. I will be making an appt but do you think the numbness cold be dental related or check for something else possibly?

Hi there.
There could be many causes for these symptoms like Trigeminal neuralgia, Diabetes, Stroke, TIA etc. You need to consult a Neurologist for the proper diagnosis and management. Get your Blood sugar and Blood pressure tested as abnormality in these can cause these symptoms as well.
