Why do my teeth hurt so bad?

sometimes my back teeth hurt so much that I cry, it happens a lot when I eat sugary stuff but not all the time. I don't have a cavity because I was just at the dentist. They put some gel stuff on it but didn't help. It may be a exposed nerve, I tend to have receeding gums and some gingivitis. Help anyone?

Why do my teeth hurt so bad?
I used to have similar problems when i was young . It all stopped when i started flossing my teeth EVERY night.This will help your gingivitis and bad breath that comes along with it.
Reply:You might be grinding your teeth at night. Your dentist can confirm. This is worth going back to the dentist to have him or her look. It could be something serious and dental issues are always less painfully resolved if resolved earlier rather than later.
Reply:Hard to say why. I can tell you that a dentist is the only one who can give you an answer.
Reply:So you have gingivitis, so you MUST floss. Hopefully your gums will re-stick themselves to your teeth.





In the meantime, part of the ROOTS of your teeth are being exposed when they're not supposed to be. Don't eat sugary stuff and hope that the whole mouth will heal.
Reply:Stop eating the sugary stuff. Brush after each meal or at least rinse your mouth with water after every meal. If you have an exposed nerve, you need a root canal. Root canal pain is unbelievable. If you have gum problems, the last thing you need is sugary stuff all over your teeth. Unless you want to spend years in pain at the dentist's office, I suggest you start taking care of your teeth starting right now.
Reply:contact your dentist.
Reply:I totally agree with Elizabeth, but may I also add that if in fact you do have an exposed nerve, that you'll need a root canal. I'm surprised they missed an exposed nerve or any severe pain when you went to the dentist last. Get it checked out before it gets painful or more expensive. If you're going to do it anyway, why not forgo the pain endurance and get it out of the way sooner.


Good luck to you. I can feel my back teeth hurting just thinking of yours hurting. There are few pains worse than a toothache because it kind of takes over everything. Until you see a doctor try placing a couple of cloves, one on either side of your back teeth. It's known to calm dental nerves.


Hope you feel better soon.

It didn't hurt all the time. Do you chew a lot of gum?


I was just throwing that out there, ask your dentist about it
