How does ameloblastoma affect my teeth?

Ameloblastoma can cause tooth resorption or re-absorption, which happens when your tumor destroys the roots of your teeth. Tooth resorption can feel like a toothache. Here are some other resorption symptoms:

• Your teeth feel loose as if you could wiggle them like you wiggled your baby teeth (deciduous teeth) when those teeth were ready to fall out.
• You notice pink or red spots on your teeth.
• Your teeth chip and shatter easily.
• Your gums may look red and swollen.
• Your lips and/or chin may feel numb.
