Why has my mouth been numb for 3 days, my gumbs have been sensitive & little to no taste when eating?

Answer 1

Have you recently started up on some kind of new medication?

That's the only thing that comes to my mind.

Try contacting a dentist and ask them hun.

Answer 2

Yes, certainly there are other causes for tingling in the mouth. As a non-tobacco user, cancer would be one of the less likely causes for oral and peri-oral paresthesia.

Yes, it is possible for cancer or other neoplasm to cause numbness if it compresses or damages a sensory nerve, but these types of tumors would almost certainly be accompanied by more global symptoms. In the absence of some other symptom, I would be inclined to exclude cancer as a basis for your complaint.

That is not to say that tingling could not be a sign of other serious disease-- a neurodegenerative disease such as diabetic neuropathy or multiple sclerosis sometimes starts with mild symptomatology. But there are so many other things that are less serious, such as a neurotropic virus (e.g., herpes simplex), or injury to a nerve caused by your last dental anesthetic injection.

I would counsel patience while you await your dentist's examination before you ruminate on the possibilities. If your dentist's examination does not clarify the nature of your problem, you may wish to ask your primary care physician for a referral to a neurologist for a more in-depth invesigation.

Good luck!
