Can Chewing Tobacco Cause Tingling In The Cheek?
I use chewing tobacco. Only for a few years. I have a tingling in my cheeks, almost as if there are swollen. I looked and they don't appear to be swollen. I also checked for white spots or red spots in my cheeks/gum and couldn't find any. Should I be concerned?
