Mouth pain over a year, no help or end in sight

I am still searching for answers. My tongue is still in pain from teeth on the right side. A dentist has tried helping by crowning the top back molar, angling it at a slant, but it still hurts my tongue and feels sharp to tongue and cheek. This is the second crown he's tried (zirconia) so I've spent 3,000 and my mouth is in pain. The bottom back tooth is sharp on the tongue side. I had a brain mri and nothing showed. Just had a neck mri without contrast. It was the same as a year ago when I was having these issues. I have no nerve compression. I have congenital join c2 and c3. Some bulging discs at c3 and c4 and c4 and c5. And an arthritic joint at c3 the left side. Nothing that is explaining the mouth stuff. I have other symptoms but some I've had years, just worse like ears ringing fairly loudly. I haven't been able to do things I did 2 years ago. Nothing explains it. It's taken over my life, day and night. Very hard on my family as it's all I cam talk about due to pain. I have been to many dentists, ENT, neurology, general family doctor. I've tried getting I. To Mayo but they deny me. Not sure if I'm choosing the wrong department or my case is not severe enough. Maybe someone has a suggestion. I live in ND. I'm going to try the university of Minnesota dentistry. I am not sure where to turn. I can barely concentrate at work and I love my job so want a resolution so much.

Not sure if I replied to the right person cfreeman, so I will repeat. Try Xanax, worked for me, had BMS for 12 years . This is the only thing that worked. Good luck.

I started with 1mg now stay on 1/4 mg per day and its 95% controlled.

Is your tongue white? As soon as I mentioned the white tongue my dentist knew what it was because his wife was diagnosed with it Sojgrens disease, dry mouth , eyes, nose, joints. My tongue has started burning since I stopped my medicine, not sure if related my lips sting, my ears turn red and itching and burning. Ent has never heard of burning ear syndrome so he’s checking into it.
