Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The tingling sensation in gums can be due to inflammation of the gums due to rubbing with the dentures. It can also be a side effect of the denture adhesive if you use one. It can also be due to any nerve related problem or a reaction to the drugs used in Infusions.

So, my suggestion is to consult your Dentist and get checked so that the gums can be examined and the exact cause can be diagnosed. Along with it, you should also apply Lidocanine gel over the gums so that you will get relieved.

Also, do warm saline gargles and gargle with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
