What Causes Numbness On The Roof Of The Mouth?
Roof of my mouth (from back of teeth to about a quarter way back) feels a bit numb but not fully. Feels slimy but that s possibly just the numbness feeling. My only guess is its possibly coming from working. I work with hot grills and deep fryers, could it be a sign of dehydration?

Hello,
It could be due to minor abrasions and will settle by itself. Dry soft palate can also give this symptoms and dehydration is also a possibility. Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
