My front lower teeth are really sensitive and are throbbing in pain. My chest also feels tight and its difficult to breathe. This started all of a sudden a couple of days ago. Ive done a little bit of reading and there seems to be a number of possibilities. One being possible diabetes. Another being grinding my teeth, mostly in my sleep, which I know for a fact I do. Over the years my teeth have worn down. Please help.
Hi, The only other possibility might be that in addition to you grinding your teeth down shorter, that you may also be suffering from moderate gum recession in the area so that now the root surfaces are exposed to the elements. Then your sensitivity/pain could be coming from these exposed root surfaces. Exposed dentin usually results in sensitivity to cold, sweets, and acidic food/ Chat Doctor. Those patients who have exposed root surfaces often complains of sensitivity and pain. Especially those who may have difficulty breathing efficiently/normally through their nose either due to sinus congestion or nasal septal defects/ deviations.
