I have a ticking feeling under my tongue and it's so annoying and I got it yesterday, im guessing I have that feeling because yesterday I got my braces and they hurt a lot. I really want to find a way to cure it, can anyone help me?
You can also get paresthesia from dental procedures including novacaine injections, tooth extractions, implants, etc.... Since your problem is both sides, I would suspect this is not the case unless you had dental work on both sides.
Because of injuries that I have read about on another site, I will never allow a dentist to use septocaine/articane for lower molar nerve blocks. Apparently it is known to be more toxic than lidocane/maricane (sp?).
one more thing i want to ask.. if paresthesia is occurring and then disappearing for quite a long time.. will it also count as chronic paresthesia ?
Paresthesia can be either transient (short term) or chronic. In transient paresthesia, it can be just a pin or needle like feelings that may occur due to sudden loss of circulation especially in limbs due to temporary compression. Although chronic paresthesia (long term) in limbs/other body parts may lead to paralysis, if this persists for long and needs to be thoroughly evaluated. Hope this helps.
thank you doctor for your quick response,
i would further like to know that can this paresthesia cause permanent paralysis ? if yes, then on which part of the body ?
Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.
Tingling sensation underneath tongue, jaw & neck could be suggestive of paresthesia that may occur due to either neuropathy (diabetes, vitamin deficiency & alcohol abuse) or any neurological disorder (such as multiple sclerosis, trigeminal neuralgia). If this persists I would suggest get your symptoms evaluated with the help of a neurologist. Hope this information proves helpful to you.
Could be something as simple as a tooth problem, it can tingle quite a ways along the gumline, or an infection of the ear or also in the mouth can cause the lymph glands in your neck to swell and hurt. Either a dentist or an ear nose throat ENT doc can see if they can find anything wrong like what I'm describing and treat you for it.
