Seek an evaluation: It is hard to tell without examining you. I would suggest a visit to an oral surgeon, oral medicine specialist, or ENT physician for an evaluation.

Paresthesia: Hard to say why it has happened. Sometimes after a tooth extraction or injection of dental anesthetic, you can get paresthesia, or numbness in the tongue. It usually goes away within weeks, but can last months, and in rare cases, be permanent. If it started on its own, i would advise you to see your dentist and/or neurologist promptly.
