A few days ago when i was brushing with my sonicare tooth brush over my lower left teeth , I felt extreme pain that took me to the floor! I never had a cavity, xrays always clean and I see the dentist 4 times a year. I just went a 2 weeks ago and clean bill. It doesn t hurt when i eat, clench my jaw, or brush with a manual tooth brush. The only thing I can think of is when i was playing with my dog (a Mastiff no less) I got a paw to the face when we were playing (accident of course). It didn t hurt and it didn t even leave a mark but I have noticed that when I close my mouth, my lips are shut but not my teeth. I tried OTC stuff but nothing helps.
Hi, Welcome to the forum. You might be having chronic toothache that occur because of any kind of injury or trauma to the tooth. Toothache is a painful condition in your jaw and facial area. It usually occurs when a nerve in the tooth root is inflamed or irritated. It could also occur because of tooth decay, infection or even tooth loss. One can prevent the majority of dental problems through flossing, brushing with fluoride toothpaste, and having teeth professionally cleaned twice a year. Visit the dentist and get an x-ray done to see that is there anything to worry about. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards.
