    What meds are you on?
    What meds are you on? Osteonecrosis of the jaw (associated with bisphoshonates) can present with jaw numbness.

    Symptoms of osteonecrosis of the jaw include:

    pain, swelling, redness, or other signs of infection in the gums
    gums or sockets that don't heal after dental work
    loose teeth
    numbness or a heavy feeling in the jaw
    draining
    having bone become visible in your mouth
