Why Am I Having Numbness On The Left Side Of Face, Inside Mouth And Tongue?
This is my second bout with numbness on the left side of my face, inside my mouth and tongue. Spinal tap done a year ago was negative for MS. MRI had a very few white spots, nothing the neurologist seemed concerned about. This is driving me nuts! Any ideas?

thanks for your query,
i have gone through your question, the numbness could be due to the pressure on the nerve...take a radiograph of the jaws like orthopantomograph to rule out wisdom tooth applying pressure on the inferior alveolar nerve supplying the lower jaw....consult a oral physician for thorough examination never neglect...i hope my answer will help you...
with regards..
