Hi ,
i have just had a an ameloblastoma removed from the right side of my jaw about 7 weeks ago. I have lost the feeling in my lower lip , it tingles now and then does this mean that i will get the feeling back eventually? will speech therapy help this at all? i also had most of my bottom teeth removed in suregery and when i talk my mouth is a bit skew ... so thats why i wana know if the therapy will help this at all.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain loss of sensation after surgery to remove an Ameloblastoma can be due to damage to the nerve causing numbness and tingling sensation..
In case if there is nerve trauma causing transient injury there is a possibility that you can get back the sensations but if the nerve is completely ruptured then the recovery is not possible..
You should consult a Neurophysician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and MRI SCAN can help in diagnosis of the exact cause so that the diagnosis can be made and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can take vitamin b complex and do warm compresses over the numb area..
Sppech therapy will not help in recovery while physiotherapy can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
