The skin and mucosa of the cheeks and gingiva are primarily innervated by the buccal nerve, a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V3). Additionally, the mental nerve, also a branch of the mandibular nerve, supplies sensation to the gingiva and skin of the lower lip and chin. Together, these nerves provide sensory innervation to the areas of the cheeks and gingiva.
