3. Numbness of the Tongue
Numbness of the tongue can be one of the most common symptoms that something is wrong. It can appear in several different forms – and might be temporary and “come and go” like some other symptoms, or it might stick around as something a little more permanent.
No matter how you experience it, numbness of the tongue that happens more than once or doesn’t go away during a short time period means you should see your doctor.
It’s likely that you will be able to combine it with some of the other symptoms mentioned here, but it’s not a given. See your doctor whether or not any of the other symptoms are combined with it.
Where it doesn’t point towards mouth or tongue cancer, numbness of the tongue can also point to other issues related to circulation, general dental problems like abscesses or heart problems. If you don’t see your doctor, there’s no way to be sure.
