[|Human|] question about symptoms related to toothache.  Had tooth pain that radiated to jaw.  Went to dentist and with tapping isolated the tooth that is the problem.  Waiting to go to the endodontist for a root canal consult. In the interim, jaw continues to have pain, no sensitivity to pressure or hot/cold on tooth (was sensitive to tapping by dentist).  Now feel some minor swelling, and had some numbness in lip on that side.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Understanding your concern. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe toothache along with symptoms of systemic infection which is due to badly carious tooth and formation of abscess in that area due to which infection is spreading from one area to other by facial spaces giving generalized symptoms. I would suggest you to visit dentist once as emergency dental visit and get IOWA(X-RAY) done to check extent of infection as chances of bone involvement is there. Go for root canal treatment of badly carious teeth and then capping of that teeth. If teeth are unrestorable go for extraction of them. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity. Take proper course of Ibuprofen and Diclofenac and do warm saline rinses. Lip numbness can occur due to vitamin deficiency, neuropathy, bells palsy and tooth infection. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,
