Hi there. Numbness or tingling in the tongue also known as paresthesia, occur most commonly due to damage to the nervous system. Damage to the lingual nerve supplying the tongue as a complication of dental procedures like wisdom tooth extraction, implants or root canal procedures. Other conditions could be stroke. Sometimes these can involve the lips or jaw. Calcium and vitamin B complex deficiency needs to be addressed. Consult an oral surgeon for assessment of possibilities. Hope this helps. Take care.
this happens to me mostly in the winter, and it,s always the tip of my tongue sometimes it affects my speech if i,m outside to long
I have had a numb tongue off and on for over a year. There are days that it feels entirely numb. The taste sensations are affected with this. None of my specialists can tell me what causes it; a couple have said that no one knows what causes it. I have heard it can be related to MS etc. I do believe it is possible for it to be related to food allergies.
It is one of many mystery symptoms I have.
personally when this happened to me it ended up being bell's palsy. if u notice the numbness spreading throughout the side of your face, go to the er
