What Causes Tingling On Tongue And Roof Of The Mouth?

Hello, Tonight as I was making dinner, my tongue and the roof of my mouth started tingling. A moment later I lost the ability to form sentences easily, and was confused on the meaning of words for about 10 minutes. I than started feeling quite weak, and within about 30 minutes I was nauseous with a head ache. I NEVER get headaches! I am 30 years old. Is this something I need to worry about? Thank you, I do hope you can offer some input.

Can you elaborate on any dental treatment that you ever got done, and has any member of your family had any similar symptoms or medical complains? If you haven't got any dental treatment done before and with the kind of symptoms that you are giving which is confusion, headache etc it suggests a neurological problem rather than related to dental,though the problem may be minor so you need not worry and better consult a neurologist as early as you can, because sometimes due to minor lesions in brain such seizure like symptoms may be seen. And the earlier you rule these out and start taking medications for such a thing the better. Take care
