Maybe you have something stuck between your teeth. Instead of reaching for some dental floss, you try to use your fingernail but to no avail. Then, you try to use your tongue to dislodge the food. This goes on for quite a while, perhaps all day! Maybe there’s some other reason you keep touching your tooth (maybe it’s texture feels different). Whatever the case, when you poke and prod your tooth, it can become irritated and uncomfortable just like any other aggravated tissue. Do your best to limit contact! If you need to see us, come on in. However, this type of tooth pain concern may resolve on its own quite quickly.
Okay, we admit: Bruxism disorder isn’t something that you’re doing intentionally. You might not even know that your teeth are grinding against one another or that you’re clenching. However, in this case, it is your own body causing your tooth or teeth to become uncomfortable! So, what should you do about it? Our team reminds you that the best thing you can do when your tooth doesn’t feel good is to come see us. If bruxism is to blame for tooth pain, we aren’t going to encourage you to try to stop (because this is something your muscles are doing on autopilot). Instead, we will provide you with treatment to stop the problem and make your smile feel better.
