Subject: Nerves A while ago I suffered a trauma to my two front teeth. I have had numbness in certain branches of my Trigerminal nerve since. Recently I've had a branch that on occasion when I smile has regained partial sensation. This does not last long. My question is, why would a nerve regain sensation and then go numb again? I have difficulty smiling because I'm numb. But I also notice I don't have the twinkle or depth of expression in my eyes when I smile or laugh like I used to. My second question is, do the nerves in the two front teeth and nasopalatine, communicate with the nerves in the eyes? Thank you in advance. |
