Hi!
I've had a lot of different symptoms over the years, that I know are TMS. But I'm having a problem now with my right front tooth.... it has only 10% the normal bone support so there is a physiological issue. But the general dentist thinks it hasnt changed much since early 00s. The last month or so I've had a lot of sensitivity in that tooth, kind of a constant sensation of tingling or hollowness or sensitivity to talking. Yet it is largely fine with hot and cold temperatures and with eating (though I dont bite much with it and havent for years). I'm suspicious that this is just TMS again, but when you have a physiological diagnosis the gremlin is hard to beat. I know I will have to have implants sometime in my lifetime, but was getting by with this tooth for years without pain. This year I've been consulting w/ doctors about bone graft surgery and such, and now I have pain. It sounds when I type it out like classic TMS, yet the gremlin's pesky argument is that I've hit the critical line of bone loss where now that tooth is going to be sensitive whereas 1% earlier in the bone loss process it wasnt at all.
any input from you all?
thanks!
Sarah

I've personally had an episode of TMS tooth pain, it was in a tooth that had a root canal. I bit on a seed and the tooth started hurting a lot, after about 3-4 weeks i went to the guy that did the root canal, he xrayed it, and told me the tooth was dead and could not possibly hurt. It stopped hurting within an hour, and has never hurt since.
so, it's entirely possible that your pain is TMS.
good luck |
