What Causes Tingling, Numbness And Itching In Front Teeth?
Hi! I've been experiencing tingling/numbness/itching in my front teeth for the last 3 months now. I have excellent teeth, been to see the dentist, peridontist, primary physician, and neurologist. Had x rays and an MRI, yet nothing. My dentist just made me a mouth guard that cost a fortune, yet I still do not have any relief. Any ideas as to what may be the cause?

Hello....as per your symptoms. ..it seems u have a squamous gingivitis if you are having symptoms on the gums area...but if you are having tingling sensation on the teeth ....its something related to teeth and it's surrounding structures. ...just get ur pulp test done....iopa etc ...definitely dentist will find out something....
Meanwhile gargle with warm saline water 2 times a day after meal. ..and use mouth wash...avoid eating spicy food if you can and observe is there any improvement or not..... hope this will help you...tk cr
