Probably not: More likely it is from your stomach.

Periodontal disease: Yes, poor dental hygiene can result in an increase in harmful microbes on teeth and in the oral cavity that can smell and taste poorly. Brush twice a day for two minutes a day and floss regularly to ensure optimum dental health.

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?
