Why does toothpaste burn my tongue whenever i brush my teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Burn: Some people are more sensitive to the ingredients (flavorings, carriers, foaming agents, etc). Try a different formulation. Try small tubes of different brands/formulations until you find one that is satisfactory. Despite what they show in ads, only use a pea-sized portion of toothpaste when you brush.

The sides of my tongue have begun feeling some minor "prickly burning" sensations. I am unsure what caused this. I constantly brush my teeth and floss so I am not sure if it's an oral hygiene issue. I do wear retainers at night. Any clues to cause?
