How long does it take for tingling sensations in your teeth and gums to go. nothing wrong with nerve or roots?

Tingling after Local: I'll presume that you had a local anesthetic for a dental procedure. Usually about an hour to hour and half. The lower jaw though may have some bruising(very common)that can cause the tingling to last longer. Call your provider for suggestions

Tingling: If you have recently had local dental anesthesia, the sensation should be gone in just a few hours. If not, report back to your Dentist. If you have not had anesthesia, tingling may be sign of neurologic problem. Seek neurologic examination.
