Common Questions and Answers about Tip of tongue numbness causes
tongue
This is accompanied by simultaneous ipsilateral (same side) numbness of the tongue. This numbness is caused by compression of the second cervical root (C2) in the atlantoaxial space. . Do discuss this with your doctor (both dentist and orthopedic specialist) and get yourself examined. Maybe a MRI of cervical spine may be required.
Metallic taste in mouth is a common side effect of many medications. It could be due to infection of gums or cavities in teeth.
20 years ago, I had a mucocele removed from the underside of my tongue at the base, NOT the tip. Since then, I have had some numbness on the TOP of the tip of my tongue on the left side. Nothing major, but it was a change for me. No big deal; learned to deal with it. Fast forward twenty YEARS! 6-months ago, I started to experience pain in my tongue TIP. It was stiff and I noticed I had a small lump on the UNDERSIDE of the TIP of my tongue on the LEFT side only when I flexed my tongue.
I woke up one day with my thumb, index finger and middle finger on my right hand numb and tingling. 2 weeks later my bottom lip and tip of my tongue went numb. 2 weeks after that my thumb, index finger and middle finger on my left hand went numb. Then 3 weeks after that both lips, my chin and area around my mouth and part of my cheeks went numb. This is all in a 3 month timeframe. My numbness has gotten so bad I can barely eat (entire mouth numb including tongue) and I have trouble talking.
The right side of my tongue is numb. I feel some tingling and burning sensation at the tip of my tongue and bottom also. My tongue on the right side feels very sensitive to hot or spicy food. I also had pain running down my chin to the ear until 2 weeks ago if I had to do lot of speaking continuously. Now that pain seems to be better. But the tongue is still numb. The dentist has asked me to wait and take some B complex vitamins. Anyone who has recovered from this problem?

I was diagnosed with MS nearly 4 years ago and am happy to say that I've been living with it quite well. Well enough, in fact, that this is the first time I've visited a forum such as this. I have some tingling in my right hand and right foot with some occasional coordination issues on my right side but overall live the same active lifestyle that I always have.
Has anyone experienced any numbness or tingling on their tongue?
After the dentist gave me an injection of novacaine, I have no feeling in the tip of my tongue and along the right side of my tongue. I am afraid I will never regain the sensation in my tongue again. Can you tell me if this is normal, and if so, how long it will take for the feeling to return? I'm thinking my dentist did something wrong to cause this, although he is adamant that he did not. I have more dental work that needs to be done, but am afraid to continue.
I posted a question about tongue numbness a couple of weeks ago (thank you all for your responses) which seemingly morphed into facial numbness on the same side as the tongue numbness and the twitching started 4-5 days ago. It's on the same side of my face and extends from my eye down to my mouth and is extremely annoying. It seems the more tired I am the worse it is, which sort of makes sense to me. Anyone have a similar experience to share and how long it lasted? Thanks in advance.
Yes, lower lip, tip of tongue and itching around nose/chin and mostly right side of face for no reason. The tongue and lip have been numb and tingling for 3 months now and I still don't have a good reason for why. My PCP has chalked it down to being something neurological since we treated for thrush and the tingling and numbness is still there.
How long have you been experiencing this? Have you talked to your doctor about it yet?
Facial numbness can be the result of injury/irritation to the fifth cranial nerve. Common causes of facial numbness are dental and trauma. It sounds like these have been evaluated. Other causes include herpes infection, trigeminal neuropathy (idiopathic), and possibly an intracranial tumor, such as a meningioma. There are other causes such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatological conditions, but these are less common.
I have been experiencing slight numbness, more of a tingling sensation on the right tip of my tongue when i yawn or open my jaw really wide. I don't have chronic numbness or any pain. I do have occasional ear pain. My dentist took a Panoramic xray, but it turned out a bit grainy. He states he has never heard of tingling in the tongue when yawning, he thinks it is nothing. I am unsure as to where to go now. Please help me.
Thanks.
Oral sex is low risk in general, even with much more prolonged contact or with intra-oral ejaculation (for the oral partner). With the fleeting contact you had, zero risk for practial purposes. As you were told on the community forum, there might be a theoretical risk for herpes, but probably in the same risk range as a lightning strike. If your tongue symptoms have anything to do with that event, it's probably just anxiety.
Bottom line: no worries, no need for testing.
I have a constant mild tingling on the left side of my face and on my lips and tip of my tongue. Sometimes I feel a tingling in my left fingers (not thumb or index), but not constant. I've had this for several weeks, and I've had heart problems ruled out this fall when I had left jaw pain and strange sudden heartburn pain check out.
I find it difficult to keep it still when extended and it seems to twitch all over the place, this lessens after a while as I try to consciously relax it. When I use a piece of tissue to holdthe tip of my tongue and extend it there are no twitches whatsoever. Would fasiculations still appear if they were ALS related?
When the white circles develop, they burn in my tongue. They mostly appear on the sides closer to the tip (in front of the yellow area). Also the tip of my tongue sometimes is very painful. When I bite it, the white circle dissapears and the pain is gone.
It mostly occurs when I sleep. During daytime I feel normal.
When I wake up in the morning I have a bad breath and blood in my mouth.
I've had this white bubble on the tip of my tongue for as long as I can remmeber. It doesn;t hurt at all and it hasn't been causing me any troubles, but im worried because I would really like to knwo what it is. I'm really young and I'm not even 18. I haven't had any kind of intercourse including oral. I noticed a small white bubble near my white bubble that I've had for a long time, I'm scared that I'm growing a new one.
The difference, in me, is a migraine also has visual symptoms such as shimmering, sparkling, bright colors, or complete absence of central vision in one or both eyes. The usual severe cervical headache, for me, also causes the numbness of half or less of the tongue, and sometimes the same side lip or jaw and shooting pains down one dermatome in the upper arm, or stabbing eye pain on the same side.
