Sore In My Mouth Causing Lip And Tooth Numbness
About a week ago I developed an ulcer inside my lower lip btw the gum and fleshy part holding my lip to my gum. About 4 days ago I noticed that my tooth was going numb and now my lip on the right side is also feeling numb. I have noticed I am clenching my teeth together at times during the day...I am afraid of cancer! I don t and have not smoked or dipped and no family history of oral cancer . What is this? My dentist saw it ystrday and was concerned bt is waiting to see what happens over the next 2 wks.
