What Causes Numbness In The Nose Post A Dental Procedure?

Two years ago, I had bonding on my teeth; then, had all my old fillings replaced without metal fillings. Ever since then, my nose went numb and has been numb now for about 2 years. I had an MRI done and nothing shows up. I'm now assuming that it was probably caused by the dental shots. What else would cause a nose to go numb?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain it seems that if you have got local anaesthesia injection for upper front teeth then the.numbing of nose can be probably die to it..
In case even if after 2 years also the numbness has not resolved then it is probably due to nerve damage caused by the injection needle..
Consult a Neurophysician and get evaluated..

As of now take Vitamin B complex supplements..
Do alternate warm and cool compresses over the nose..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
