What might cause numbness in my upper teeth?

Numbness in the upper teeth can happen if there is a problem with the nerves in the face. One possible cause is infraorbital neuropathy, which affects the nerve that runs below the eye and can lead to numbness in the cheek and upper teeth. Another potential reason for numbness is surgical procedures. Certain surgeries, especially those involving the nose or sinuses, can sometimes impact the nerves that serve the upper teeth and lip.

If you experience numbness in your upper teeth, it is important to consider any recent surgeries or injuries to the face. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
