Got Hit On Right Eye, Front Teeth Numb, On Closing Eye Pain Shoots Down To Teeth. What Could Be Cause?
Hi - I got hit on my right eye. I did not have any swelling or black eye. The next morning my front teeth and to the right were numb. When I close my eye pain shoots down to my teeth. Otherwise I do not have pain - just numbness. It feels like some teeth are coming back slowly.

Hello
It seems from the history that you had injury to eye followed by numbness of teeth indicate injury to nerve mist probably infra orbital nerve as a result of injury. If there is no associated eye i injury fracture of orbit it facial bones have to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for further examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
