numbness and burnig tongue and cheeck

Is it possible to have an infection without a fever?  For about a month I have had a numbness and or tingeling in my left cheeck and side of tongue.  Usually I also have a burning on my tongue and or a metalic taste in my mouth.  I first thought it was a sinus infection but I now have no other sinus symtoms.  Now I am having a some uncomforatability above my left uper back teeth.  Is it possible to have these symtoms before the tooth ach?  I also have TMG with clicking that can be heard by others while I eat.

For years I had a clicking sound in my jaw and went to a Nuero Muscular therapist for something else, but she caught this right away.  She fixed what ever it was and now I have no more clicking in my jaw after 13 years of it doing that. I could not believe it.

A Nuero Muscular Therapist can do great things for your body.

Your oral soft tissue symptomatologies are not likely associated with dental disease.However, seeing a dentist to take care of offending tooth is advised. If roal soft tissue symptoms persist after dental treatment, seeing an orofacial pain specialist is advised.
