Can't be sure. : What have you done to it? Taken? Had to drink? Had to eat? Need lots more information to guess at your particular concern. See your dentist for an evaluation.

Neurological?: The usual suspects are foods, trauma (tongue bite) , the start of a "cold sore" , however it could be neurological issues ranging from damage to the mandibular nerve (think wisdom tooth extraction or less likely a tumor) or even a symptom of a stroke. If it continues, see your dentist or md.

Still tingling?: There is no way to know with such little information. If after reading the other answers you still don't know why, and it still persists or returns, see a physician for an evaluation.
