A member asked:

Yes: There are nerves in the nose that could have been bruised during your surgery. This should get better over time. If this feeling gets worse, it may be related to your teeth. If this persists, i would consult with your dentist.

Probably: The tips of the roots of the front teeth on most people reside very closely to the floor of the nasal septum. The pressure exerted during the septoplasty could have easily disrupted the bone surround the teeth causing the vague sensitivity. Mention this to the ENT at a follow up appointment for clarification and possible referral to your dentist.

Possibly: Trauma of procedure is near front teeth which are below your nose. Check with your ENT doctor and hopefully so the feeling will go away. No root canals needed now but if pain or infection occurs in future than possible.

Mild Neuropathic : pain is one of the most challenging and complex pain conditions. Neuropathic pain is associated with both peripheral and central somatosensory lesions. The continuous neuropathic disorders have constant unremitting pain of varying levels of intensity without any periods of total remission. Simple cleaning could be a cause of this pain.
