Do you ever have single teeth that hurt?

#1 Post by Kat »

Ever have just one tooth hurt throughout the month?
Any pinging, almost unnatural hurting compared to the others?
Anyone think something is wrong with a tooth when it really is ok or do you just have soreness in them all.
Anything different?

All the time. I've had a single tooth hurt so bad I would swear it had a bad cavity...but then a day or two later it quit.

Yes definitely!

I had one hurt so badly I didn't sleep for two days- even with some panadeine forte! I asked my ortho about it, he said it happens and there's no reason for it, and they can't really explain it!

"Transitory Pulpitis"....which is basically a temporarily mad nerve in the tooth while it's being moved.

Since orthodontic treatment is kind of a "push-me, pull-you" deal, the forces of moving the teeth can shift around the mouth.

Good luck with your treatment!!

Oh yeah... after every adjustment I have to wonder which little devil is going to go "pwing" for a few days (and sometimes, it's two of 'em... and sometimes it starts two or three weeks after adjustment)... go figure. It's the darndest thing with no rhyme or reason. But at least you know things are moving.

If the tooth pulsates and it cold/heat sensitive and doesn't let up, you'll want to see your dentist to make sure all is a-ok.

Yes, yes and yes. Several teeth during treatment have hurt terribly! Sometimes the pain goes away as quickly as it comes sometimes it goes on and on. I've thought "oh-oh..I need a root canal!" but eventually the pain goes away. I've used Sensodyne toothpaste alot during treatment and it helps.

Try not to worry about it too much...its only our teeth rebelling for being moved out of a sound sleep. :roll: :wink: :roll:

Yep I get this too. I just think everything has settled down for a bit when whammy one goes on the war path. I've got an adjustment today & woke up with one sore tooth! :? What's the deal with that? I would have thought this wire was all done moving around.

I think my teeth has worked out their own roster of transferring pain around my mouth. I think every single tooth has had its day of pain at some point but the pain lessens after a time. Just had my second adjustment so the strong pain is coming back! will be on soft food again I think until it settles. Oh joy!

Yep, still happens 19 months into treatment.

It means PROGRESS! :wink:

I've got an ouchy lateral right now, so yes, one tooth can hurt like a booger. They are rotating this one so pain is expected. Advil is my friend.

Thanks for the replies!
I've been having two teeth one on each side I don't know the names of them but they hurt pretty bad. I can't hardly chew without pain.
It sucks.
Maybe I need time and to stay off these teeth awhile. This is not just soreness like my top teeth they feel like they've been yanked on and hurt with pressure.
Damn I'm having so much fun with this. :roll:
I know I'm supposed to be positive.

Do you have a power chain by any chance? I've had one on the bottom row for awhile so I'm completely used to that. Today, got one up top, too, just 4 front teeth. Those babies really put the pressure on and can be painful.

Yes! This happened to my "fang" this weekend while I was away. I was terrified that after all this effort to move the &*^% tooth - it rots on me! But now the pain is gone and now I know it was moving..happy day..I do get the rotating pressure - but this was the first time it was really painful. Thanks for asking this question and for all that answered!

I had one that has been painful with the first 2 sets of wires but it had 2 little metal rings crimped on each side of it so it wouldn't move....last adjustment he didn't use them so much better now.

Other than that, the pain in other teeth changes throughout the weeks between adjustments.
