Lower jaw surgery Oc 5 -- lower teeth ache now..

[Guest guest]

Hi --

Recap -- Upper, lower Oct, rhino Oct 5th.

My chin and lower lips is numbm, but it tingles. My lower gums are

numb also, but now my lower teeth sort of throb -- but they

shouldn't if they are numb. Anyone else have this sensation??! It

doesn't 'hurt', but it's always there, and it's

annoying/uncomfortable.

Thanks.

Hi...I had upper/lower/chin done on Sept 10th. I'm having a slow

recovery. I have numbness and it drives me nuts. Maybe it's your

nerves regenerating. My ortho said to wrap ice cubes in paper

towels, rub them in circles in the area for a few minutes then

follow with a heat wrap or a hot facecloth. This is to confuse the

brain he said, it's working a little for my aches but I'm further

along than you.

What a journey!!!

Ahhh, I believe that is caused by the nerves beginning to wake up. I

think most of us went through it. Wonderfully pleasant isn't it

That feeling used to drive me nuts!

I found that a heating pad helped, of course you can't sit around

with a heating pad on you face all day, but if it really starts to

bother you try heat for 10-15 minutes it will calm the nerves down a

bit. I also found that herbal relaxation teas ( sleepy time, sweat

dreams etc.) helped a lot, I would take a sip and hold it in my mouth

for a moment. The heat and herbs did a lot to clam the neves.

The consolation here is it is a sign that things are healing and it

will go away in a week or so.
