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?
