Face Stuck In An Altercation Followed By Numbness In Front Teeth And Lip
Hi
So I was in an altercation where I was stuck in the face (right below my cheek) now I have numbness in my three front teeth on the left side and when I press inbetween my check and bridge if my nose I can feel a (not to painful) feeling going down my lip to the top of my gum where the teeth are numb. My lip is also numb

HI. The nerve ( infra-orbital) supplying this area got contused causing this classical problem. This should heal on its own in time. You may consult an ENT Specialist if you are bothered.
