what can cause my teeth to tingle? tooth crowding?

Since I was about 10, perhaps earlier, my 4 incisors on my bottom jaw have bothered me. they tingle and will do this for days at a time and then go a away for like 1-4 months then come back for some days. they are currently tingling and it is a very disturbing and annoying sensation. It usually happens at random but can be brought on by activities such as running or biting things I shouldn't. I have a theory that it is caused by crowding in my teeth from my wisdom teeth. I have never had braces and have pretty straight teeth other than those 4 incisors which are overlapping eachother a bit. I recall my wisdom teeth beginning to grow in since the fourth grade, the same age that I began having this issue. I have all my wisdom teeth and all of them have multiple times tried to grow in but the gum eventually grows back over them. when I have told dentists they have no solution to my tingling. they say it's probably caused by tartar build upand that I should just floss more or they have no solution. they also won't remove my wisdom teeth unless they are bothering me. though they do on occasion when they try to grow in. I'm 18 years old living with my mother receiving Medicaid. so I. can't see very good dentists.

    Actually the tartar is probably right

    I doubted it but I find that I can stimulate the feeling with floss but if I brush very well and keep flossing it will go away for very long periods of time, my wisdoms came out at about 19 or 20.
