Teeth and jaw aches
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi Ladies,
Has anyone had random teeth start aching at all or their jaw ? I have tried to look this up as a symptom and it does seem strangely that it’s quite common. They also seem far more sensitive lately. Is there no end to this madness ? Thanks in advance 😘 x

OMG yes!! Aching, nerves jangling, sensitive
( what has helped a lot though is wearing a gum shield at night as I'm sure I was clenching my jaw! Worth a try

Thanks for replying. I wondered if it might be tha, but my jaw seems a little off and only my back teeth now meet. It’s one of my front ones that seems to ache . . I’ve had it on and off for a good few weeks ? It was fine yesterday so I’m hoping and praying it can’t be serious xx

Hi Terri,
Thank you for your reply. I hope you’re right because to say I’m terrified of the Dentist is an understatement 😢 it’s almost like where the top of my tooth and gum meets is an ache and maybe sensitive ? I hope it goes because it’s making me have even worse anxiety than normal xx

I don’t get the jaw ache but I do get the teeth aching. It comes and goes, weird!

Thank you for replying. It s reasuring to hear others have it as well. These hormones seem to affect just about everything don’t they ? Have a good day.

Hi Debbie
I have never posted about this before because somehow got over it but i went through a period of time (2 yrs) whereby i had super sensitive aching teeth to the point that i thought i would get them all pulled (not really but close)
I was during perimenopause (i was clueless at the time) and it was really debilitating. I was also grinding my teeth in my sleep.
So maybe firs rule out that you don't grind your teeth and or have TMJ, Then you can assume its perimenopause or basically the hormones which i never in a million years would have thought.

Thanks very much for replying. That’s reassuring to know. Have to admit it was starting to worry more, which is something I definitely don’t need ! I tried to search it and it does mention it can happen in pregnancy as well. These bloody hormones have a a lot to answer for. I don’t think I’m grinding them to be honest.

Thank you for your reply. Did it last a while ? It’s been over a week now and my anxiety has gone though the roof !! I keep thinking it must something more, then thinking OMG hope I haven’t got an infection, I hate the Dentist ! I did go a few weeks ago to get them cleaned and to be honest my mouth hasn’t felt right since xxx

Hi Debbie, I frequently experienced jaw pain before starting hrt patches (Evorelle) this helped and I was surprised as I hadn't connected the jaw pain with menopause symptoms. Im 51 and been using patches for 15 months now. They have changed my life. I felt so ill and angry and tearful all the time. I believe that there's a large nerve in your head (think it's called trigeminal nerve) that can become inflamed with hormones changes at peri menopause.

I hadn’t heard of that nerve before ? Sounds interesting and a possible cause ?
