Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tingling sensation could be because of the gum infection secondary to deposits. This can also occur secondary to acid reflux disease resulting in erosion of the teeth. Consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned once. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like tablet doxycycline 100mg twice daily for first day and once daily for next 4 days. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
This annoying tingling sensation can be because of some infection of the tooth or gums.
To confirm it you have to visit a dentist and get an x- ray done of that area to know the cause.
As x-ray will confirm the problem.
Hope it will help you.
