Dental evaluation: In order to keep your tongue clean and healthy, use a tongue scraper every day. The numb tongue could be one of many things, either dental or medical in origin. I think it's time to see a dentist for a complete and thorough examination. Your dentist can evaluate your issues and advise you accordingly.

See below: The brown coating ....Is it thick? Just brown or mixed colors such as yellow...Any digestive problems the numbness of your tongue.. Is this your entire tongue how often and when ie after eating jumping sleeping etc would suggest you see your md and get a good physical.
