Tooth sensitivity

Posted , 6 users are following.

I've been perimenopausal for at least 6 months, probably longer in retrospect.

Anyway, I've had nearly every symptom known to exist but right now the one that's really bothering me is tooth pain/sensitivity.

I had a filling done a couple years ago and now during the week before my period, that tooth becomes so sensitive to hot and cold that it's ridiculous.

Anyone else?

    Every tooth I’ve had work done on is now sensitive.  It never used to be but since in menopause, it’s beenan issue.  I too use Toothpaste for sensitive teeth.   I’ve also noticed I’ve been clenching my teeth in my sleep which is causing face pain and more teeth pain during the day.

    I too suffer from it to the point that an endo suggested a root canal on a recently filled cavity. I'm holding off. At this moment it's not hurting. I have noticed an increase in tooth issues, had 2 cavities, 1 root canal, teeth chipping in the last 3 years and I have teeth cleanings every 3 months.

    Ive started taking calcium supplements to see if it helps.

    I cannot believe how poorly my body is reacting to these hormonal changes, I'm 55 and missing this month's cycle so maybe🤞but I'm super depressed.

      My dentist also recommended a root canal on a tooth i had filled a while ago, but was kept wanting me to confirm which tooth was sensitive since the xrays didn't show anything besides the filling. Not sure what i should do. 

      This hormonal change is absolute madness....i never would have thought in a million years all the havoc it could create in my body. Hope you find some relief soon smile
