[|Human|] I had a tooth extracted a year ago. It has never been right. Been to oral surgeon, dentist , periodontist, ENT, ER, neurologist , even oral and maxifacial at Mayo clinic. they think trigenial nerve/atypical face pain etc. I am not sure if that is right. it feels like all the oozing (but nothing is there) is coming out of 2 teeth located next to extracted tooth area. It is like Zootz candy..it is an explosion of something coming out of my teeth...it burns. my lips tingle and are numb. my teeth feel like they have holes in them. they ache all the time. the taste is like alum foil, metal, blood combined. It feels like there is something stuck in my gum where i had tooth taken out. Any ideas? would a oral pathologist be able to help? can teeth get diseased? all my tests have come back negative. the gabapentin made no difference, and now i am on tegretol which makes no difference at all.
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for posting your query....the symptoms you are mentioning is absolutely normal....this king of tingling sensation would remain for 12-15 days or even more and would come down gradually....when you have the nerve supplying your gums and tooth very close to the tooth of removal, some amount of pressure is exerted and causes altered sensation that manifests in the form of tingling sensation. An orthopantomograph [OPG] X-ray will help you to know the extent of the lesion and the possible consequences. If the numbness is due to an abscess, it should be relieved after a course of antibiotics. If it is secondary to an existing lesion, then it has to be treated accordingly. I would suggest that you consult your dentist for the same. Regards
