Tooth pain-Fibro??

Squirrel13

Good afternoon,  Does anyone know if tooth pain is Fibro??  It feels like sensitivity and pain like you get with sinus infection.  I use prescription sensitivity toothpaste and have been doing well in that department.  No congestion.  Just wondering if it is another one of the symptoms of Fibro?  THANKS and please take good care of yourselves.

Not that I'm aware of it isn't but then I don't know everything either.

Yes. I have had tooth pain with my Fibromyalgia. Sometimes I have had a feeling of my teeth being swollen. Weird but true. Take care.

Yes! I have this with my Fibro. When I am having a day I hurt. I was told it's because of the nerves in the teeth and jaw. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm having tooth pain as well, it seems to depend at least in part with certain meds. My dentist says I clench my jaws at night and this is my cause. I'm not really sure of the cause.

If this is a recent development, you should make an appointment to see your dentist. Take care.

Ive had top gum and tooth aches for a while now, might be due to this. Read something about nasal inflammation being a possible cause, which is highly possible. Do you get pressure headaches aswell? Also, with a chronic illness like fibro and ME, sress is almost always present. I have a mouth guard for night as I am believed to clench, aggrivated dizzyness and probably the teeth aches aswell. Best of luck!

Ditto fantod, and please see a dentist (all of you) about this. I tcould be a non-fibro issue, and that's not a good idea to decide it "is", okay? Safety first. TMJ is also something a dentist could spot, so you can get a bite guard if needed, and so forth....

Luck and healing.

I use a bite guard at night because I grind my teeth. I have ground them so hard I have broken teeth & wore other teeth down. I will dream that I am about to eat something delicious & then when I take a bite of the food it is hard & rubbery & I think to myself "what the heck is wrong with this good?" Then I wake up & realize that I am chewing on my bite guard. LOL!!!

That should read " what the heck is wrong with this food?" My keyboard on my phone is tiny.

    Wellw e're two days into the new season (autumn in the Northern, spring in the Southern). And finally, it feels like it might stay! No, wait, 80s F again. Ugh. Oh well.***In 1869, Wall Street did one of its first spectacular crashes, after the ever-unscrupulous and a-holish Jay Gould and James Fisk decided to corner gold.

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
