I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different possible causes: a local infection, nerve damage like the neuropathy in your lower limbs, vitamin B12 deficiency, etc.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your dentist for a physical exam and checking vitamin B12 and blood electrolytes plasma levels for possible imbalances.
You are already taking Gabapentin, which can help. Another option would be amitriptyline or duloxetine.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
