Tingling Tongue: Causes and Symptoms of Stinging Tongue
-
Do you have a tingling tongue? A numb, stinging, or tingling tongue is medically known as 'paresthesia of the tongue' and often occurs as a result of a disruption of one or more sensory nerves. The medical term for the absence of sensation is 'anesthesia'. A tingling tongue can also be caused by impaired breathing, often seen with hyperventilation. Tingling in the tongue can also be caused by certain conditions. This is often accompanied by other complaints. The most fearful causes of a tingling, stinging, deaf or numb tongue can often be remedied quickly. Sometimes a tingling tongue is caused by an underlying condition. A tingling tongue after eating can indicate a food allergy. You can also be allergic to certain medications, often antibiotics. Sometimes a tingling tongue indicates a vitamin deficiency, such as vitamin B12 or other B vitamins. Iron and zinc deficiency is also possible.

A tingling tongue
-
Numbness or a feeling of tingling (a feeling of pinpricks) in the tongue, medically known as paraesthesia of the tongue, usually occurs as a result of damage to the nervous system. The medical term for lack of sensation is anesthesia. Damage to the tongue nerve (lingual nerve) can occur as a complication of dental procedures or surgery, such as wisdom tooth extraction, implants, or root canal treatment. Other conditions that damage the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis, as well as brain conditions such as stroke, can also cause numbness and tingling of the tongue. Sometimes these sensations extend to the roof of the mouth, the lips

A numb, stinging, or tingling sensation in the tongue often occurs as a result of a disruption of one or more sensory nerves, as a complication of a dental procedure or surgery, such as removal of a wisdom tooth, the application of implants or a root canal treatment.

Tingling tongue due to disturbed breathing
-
With disturbed breathing - as is the case with hyperventilation - one often experiences a tingling tongue. In addition, people often also experience stiffness of the tongue. These complaints are because too much carbon dioxide is blown out. This disturbs the acidity of the blood and causes the blood vessels to constrict (and the veins in the tongue are already very thin), causing tingling around the mouth, in the tongue, and in the fingers and feet
