l have a weird sensation of pressure in my front upper teeth

I have been feeling a weird sensation in my teeth since last September, at first it was like pressure,while eating,I felt that they were misplaced and extremely tight. Every time l brushed them l would feel that l moved them or that they would fall  or something,(though they were solid) and then l'd feel the tightness, as if i had residual food in there. 

Lately i ve felt that they are  swollen or stiff (like they were made of wood kinda) and they even hurt a little,as if they were impacted,  it is almost unnoticeable and i must clarify that l haven't suffered any dental injury,

I think my gums are healthy, l do not bleed, my breath doesn't smell bad, l do not suffer from bruxism, extreme temperatures do not bother me.

It is not a big thing but has become and obsession, lm afraid they might drop out from one minute to another and that has made the sensation even harder, l think.

l don't wanna be crybabish and run to the dentist due to this, if the symptoms were harder l would, but it is sort of mild, 

is the future consequences what worry me. Anybody else has gone through this? Right now i have fear of hard things such as apples and nuts and the like because l do feel some annoyance, though l don't know what percentage is psychological and what is real nuisance, even when l smile l feel that they get tight or move...

    This has been happening to me also. I have bruxism also. It makes it worse with stress. It's constant and I wish it would just stop. I feel like they're loose all the time and they're not. Lol love had cleaning and they don't go anywhere when the dental hygentist cleans and I'm good for a few days then right back to the stressful feeling. If looked everywhere for what is causes this. Clenching my teeth is one , I feel like maybe there is nerve damage that makes them feel weird all day. Ugh. I also noticed I hold all my stress in my jaw. Looking for ideas on how to stop that. I'm glad I'm not alone but really want this to stop.

    I have had the same tight feeling in my teeth for over a year now.

    It's terrible!  I have noticed my teeth are much closer together now.  And feel that at age 63 my teeth are moving and pushing together.

    It's difficult to floss between some teeth, a problem I haven't had before.

    My dentist has referred me to an orthodontist.

    i had the same thing. I have no nerves in my front 2 teeth thank God cos I would've killed myself by now. I had to call 999 after gp said if dental pain got worse. The pain will be bad if you have an absess or an infection. Unbearable. I was admitted to hospital and the dentist had to inject my 2 front teeth. I was on morphine and codeine.soooooooooooooo much better now

      Did anything happen out of the norm around the time before you started to feel it?

      I feel your pain, this has been bothering me almost more than anything. Anything I do it doesn't seem to go away, I have found nothing to relieve it yet. The only escape I get from it is sleep. As soon as I wake up, there it is again. I hope we find a solution to this because it is also taking over my life.

    I've had this same problem for about a year, I have been trying to figure out what it is, seeing a Dr with neurological experience, nothing with xray/mri. Had my wisdom teeth pulled, no change. On a few different medications, still no change. Despite it not being a searing or sharp pain, it is still very intense and difficult to ignore and focus on other things.

    I find it hard to smile and I have a difficult to control 'nose scrunch' which happens occasionally. I also have an eye brow area raise that I've been told isn't noticeable but I feel it and it feels weird, like I am 'checking something out' but it happens every time I stop moving my eyes or focus on something. It feels like it's all interconnected but I can't figure out what it is.

    Bittersweet knowing that others are familiar with at least the teeth/gum sensation, it seems like it's uncommon, but hopefully we can get some attention on this matter so we can figure out what it is to find solutions.

    Has anyone had any resolution from this problem?

    I started with pressure in my top teeth three months ago. I have been back and to to the dentist and had a root canal and antibiotics, but still the pressure continues. It feels like someone is pressing down on them and sometimes I get a wave of intense pressure that feels like they will be pushed out. It's so awful.

    How did everyone's problems begin? Weirdly, the pressure started in the teeth the day after I had an impression done for a crown on a bottom tooth. My dentist said this had no connection, but a very strange coincidence!

    I too only get relief when I go to bed. I manage to sleep ok.

    It would be great to hear if anyone else is going through this. It is horrible!

    Hello,

    I think i am having these same symptoms. Mine started last November and i am very aware of my two front teeth. they feel heavy and i am always prodding them with my tongue and looking in the mirror to see if they have moved.

    I brought myself a mouth guard as I grind my teeth and often woke clenching my teeth together and pushing those teeth forward almost. since wearing the mouth guard I can say that my teeth feel better when I wake but I am still very obsessive over them which I think is making the sensation 10X worse.

    It gives me great reassurance to hear someone else is experiencing similar symptoms.
