For the pasts two days, occasionally my lower left side of my lip will get tingly and numb. It feels as if my lower left lip fell and is crooked but it is not. At first I thought I was having a mini stroke but as much as it has been happening, I thought I wouldn’t be having a bunch of mini strokes. I know with anxiety you get numbness and tingling in different parts of your body but this has me really worried. When it happens, nothing else happens with it. Can anyone relate to this? Please help.

Have you had any dental work recently? My chin and lower part of my lip have been having a tickle-like-numb-like feeling the last couple of months off and on. I mentioned it to the dentist when I was in for a cleaning. He told me that the dental surgery to remove a cyst from my gum over a year ago was to blame. It was all part of the healing process. When I got that news, I relaxed a little because I thought the worst, too.
