paresthesia is an altered sensation described as tingling, “pins and needles,” burning, or unusual numbness. It is a symptom—not a disease—and it can be temporary or persistent. In dentistry, paresthesia is most often discussed when sensation changes involve the lips, tongue, chin, cheeks, or gums. The term is used in patient descriptions, dental charts, and clinical communication about sensory nerve function.
