  2. Mental nerve - Wikipedia

    It provides sensation to the front of the chin and the lower lip, as well as the gums of the anterior mandibular (lower) teeth. It can be blocked with local anaesthesia for procedures on the chin, lower lip, and mucous membrane of the inner cheek. Problems with the nerve cause chin numbness.

  3. Mentalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentalis

    The mentalis muscle causes a weak upward-inward movement of the soft tissue complex of the chin. [2] This raises the central portion of the lower lip. [2] In the setting of lip incompetence (the upper and lower lips not touching each other at rest), the contraction of the mentalis muscle can bring temporary but strained oral competence.

  4. Inferior alveolar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_alveolar_nerve

    The inferior alveolar nerves supply sensation to the lower teeth, [2]: 519 and, via the mental nerve, sensation to the chin and lower lip. [citation needed] The mylohyoid nerve is a motor nerve supplying the mylohyoid and the anterior belly of the digastric. [citation needed] [contradictory]

  5. Inferior alveolar nerve anaesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_alveolar_nerve...

    Inferior alveolar nerve block (abbreviated to IANB, and also termed inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia or inferior dental block) is a nerve block technique which induces anesthesia (numbness) in the areas of the mouth and face innervated by one of the inferior alveolar nerves which are paired on the left and right side.

  6. Dysesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysesthesia

    Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a progressive, enduring and often irreversible tingling numbness, intense pain, and hypersensitivity to cold, beginning in the hands and feet and sometimes involving the arms and legs caused by some chemotherapy agents. [7]

  7. Dental anesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anesthesia

    Several nondental nerves are usually anesthetized during an inferior alveolar block. The mental nerve, which supplies cutaneous innervation to the anterior lip and chin, is a distal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. When the inferior alveolar nerve is blocked, the mental nerve is blocked also, resulting in a numb lip and chin.

  8. Whatever the cause, penile numbness is usually temporary and might cause tingling, a cold or burning sensation, or pins and needles. It can affect your ability to have an orgasm, according to ...

  9. Hypoesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoesthesia

    Hypoesthesia or numbness is a common side effect of various medical conditions that manifests as a reduced sense of touch or sensation, or a partial loss of sensitivity to sensory stimuli. In everyday speech this is generally referred to as numbness.
