A member asked:
My left cheek has been feeling numb for months what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several causes: The sensation to the cheek is provided by the trigeminal or fifth cranial nerve. The loss of sensation or numbness can be caused by neuropathy, ms, tumor or injury to the nerve. Occasionally dental problems can be associated with numbness. Please see your dr. If this persists.
