I basically had to eliminate a ton of possibilities before I came to the conclusion that mine's due to my MS (neuropathy) and nothing else. That included exclusion of allergens, dentistry, drug reactions...
what your's sounds like is burning mouth syndrome, but it could be Sjorgens (if I'm spelling that right) syndrome... there's a few different disorders causing burning/tingling or dry mouth.
Getting a doctor to understand it is a true test in beating your head against a proverbial wall and seeing how much you can take. Mine still doesn't 'get' it. She just finally agreed to prescribe me Clonazepam, after I tried a bunch of other stuff that didn't work (antidepressants, anticonvulsants).
