Common Causes of Lip Numbness or Tingling
- Dental Anesthesia: The most common cause is the lingering effect of a local anesthetic injection, which is temporary.
- Nerve Injury: Bruising or damage to the mental nerve or inferior alveolar nerve during a dental procedure (like wisdom tooth extraction or implant placement) can cause prolonged or permanent changes in sensation.
- Cold Sore Prodrome: A characteristic tingling or burning sensation often precedes the outbreak of a cold sore.
- Allergic Reaction: Mild allergic reactions to food or products can sometimes cause a tingling sensation in the lips.
- Vitamin Deficiency: A lack of certain B vitamins can sometimes lead to peripheral neuropathy, which can cause tingling sensations.
