Evaluation necessary: A tingling tongue and pain requires professional evaluation. Although the cause can be as simple as traumatic irritation from clenching and bruxing, systemic factors such as malnutrition, nerve injury, central nervous system lesions such as herpetic lesions and growths along the course of the trigeminal nerve can all feel the same.

One sided: Often one sided pain is a red flag, and it's important not to rule out chickenpox or shingles, signs of heart attack, stroke or some sort of nerve issue. This may be beyond the scope of dental diagnosis so i would recommend a family physician or neurologist.
