Hi c_bk -

As immisceo points out, MS tends to be a catch all for Dr. Google. MS can show symtoms virtually anywhere, bit so can a lot of other things,

If you suspect you may have MS, you need to be examined by a neurologist, prefereably one who specializes in MS.  They will best be able to advise you.

THe first thing I would do in your shoes is to address the infection in your gums. I'm not sure whether or not it can cause brain lesions, but in 2014 it seems like they should be able to get rid of it.

This could be many, many different things, almost all of them (statistically) more likely than Multiple Sclerosis.

Because MS manifests as damage to the central nervous system (the body's HQ), it can throw endless symptoms and combinations of symptoms/sensations at someone. This means people are often erroneously told by Dr Google that it's a possibility, when likely it is not and they've just entered 'symptoms of life' (aches, fatigue, etc) or symptoms of another origin entirely. This is the catch-22 of search engine algorithms.

If you are experiencing distress, concern, and/or reduced function as a result of what you describe, your very first port of call is your GP. They can test for things that are easily corrected for (vitamin deficiencies, for example) and go from there.
