A member asked:
What does a very sharp pain in tongue mean. like a sharp needle jab or you bit small area hard. takes 5 to 15 sec to subside. no tingle/numbness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diagnosis is the key: Sharp tongue pain is usually caused by something obvious and visible like trauma. In some instances, though, a discolored or painful tongue can indicate more serious conditions, including vitamin deficiencies or blood disorder. See your dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
