Sensitive Teeth Affecting Tinnitus?

[Robert18]

Hello everyone,

For the past couple of weeks, I've been dealing with an ear infection that worsened my high-pitched tinnitus. After two weeks of using ear drops, the infection cleared up. I'm grateful to everyone who shared advice that helped me resolve the issue.

However, I'm now facing another problem. My teeth have become very sensitive, causing sharp pain whenever I drink something hot or cold. At the same time, I've noticed that the volume of my tinnitus has increased over the past week.

Could my sensitive teeth be affecting or causing the increased volume of my tinnitus?

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any insights into this issue?

I've never heard of Sensodyne curing T but hey give it a whirl and let us know.

 

[Robert18]

Yes I start trying sensodyne and I may see a dentist and book for appointment soon, my concern is that my t gets louder. its so annoying and I don't think so if my sensitive teeth affects or caused it.

I'm calling to anybody who had experienced like this who have sensitive teeth and make their t louder.

Thanks and god bless ,
Robert

Yes, I've noticed the same thing too.

My guess is it has something to do with trigeminal nerve being aggravated?
Try using tooth paste or mouth wash for sensitive teeth for a while and see if it has any effect.

@summ
So you had sensitive teeth like mine?
what did you do with your teeth problem, have you been to a dentist ?
and then what happen next, does your t didn't spike after all?

thanks and god bless you,
Robert

I've had really sensitive tooth, but in my case it was tooth decay. Dentist "fixed" it.
He drilled twice without lidocaine and both times it made my T permanently worse.
He drilled once with lidocaine and it made my hearing and T much better for a week until the next drilling.

I still have mildly sensitive teeth, even tooth that is supposedly dead, because I have a crown there.
Tooth paste for sensitive teeth helps a bit.
Whenever my T is worse, my sensitivity and pain is higher. And whenever I put earplugs in my ears I can feel pain in my teeth.

So yeah, try tooth paste or mouth wash for sensitive teeth and if it doesn't help, go to your dentist and don't let him drill without anaesthesia.
I hope this helps.

Sensitive teeth can often be from grinding and clenching of teeth. Grinding can cause TMJ and tension in jaw which can be a factor in tinnitus.

And now I have another problem with my sensitive teeth, it gets a sharp pain when I drink a hot or cold drink.
And I have observed an increased volume of my tinnitus within this week.

@Robert18 I have had a similar experience. It is very important to see a dentist and have some x-rays taken. Sensitivity to hot and cold beverages is a signal that you may have a slight infection in the roots of your teeth which if taken care of ASAP could help you a lot. If you ignore this it may end up as a need for root canals.

And it could also to just a symptom of grinding.

In one case the sensitivity in a tooth to hot/cold drinks meant I needed a slight adjustment for the tooth in question.
In another case it meant a root canal because the x-rays showed the roots dying and an infection starting in the small gaps surrounding the tooth.

And yes my tinnitus was louder in a more high pitched way. That went away after I took care of the issues.

Don't be afraid and ignore this.

Tooth sensitivity can also be caused by certain foods. In my case, only from a relatively small number of fruits--especially plums. It was way worse if the fruit was even slightly under ripe. The sensitivity could last for several hours.​

Thanks for sharing with your experiences this will help me a lot with my teeth issues as I have book an appointment with my dentist next month.

God bless you all,
Robert

Hi @Starthrower,

Have you by any chance ever considered irrigating your teeth and gums regularly with hydrogen peroxide. This practice has worked so well for me, that I've come to believe it can prevent most dental situations where a root canal is considered. I also think it can sometimes even be used to prevent a root canal that's already been advised. It's really a powerful therapy, especially if it's combined with using other kinds of chlorine dioxide dental products.

Best...​

@Lane..

Oh even better we now do the Virgin Coconut Oil pulling technique. I swear it helps keep the gyms really healthy and even whiten them a bit. I also noticed or my husband did that he used to have measures 4 or 5 in his gums when he went for cleanings. We did this for about four months and when he went back in his measures were 2 in the gums.

Hum maybe @Robert18 should try it?

Kinda gross at first. But you buy organic Virgin coconut oil and take a tablespoon and swish it through your teeth for about twenty minutes. Then you need to spit it out in a cup and not down the sink. Then you brush and floss.

Coconut oil works great. I also like preservative free Aloe Vera juice. Use it like mouth wash. Studies have shown that it works just as well as Chlorhexidine Gluconate for gums, hurtful teeth, soreness and infection. This is used after brushing teeth.

@Robert18, did the tinnitus and tooth sensitivity eventually resolve?

I had a crown placed on a tooth last year on October 23, and the drilling triggered tinnitus and sensitivity. I went to an ENT and had an MRI, but they said there was nothing they could do. In March of this year, I had a root canal on the same tooth because the sensitivity never resolved. While the tooth never felt perfect, it was less sensitive after the procedure.

In July, I had the root canal filled. Then, in November, I tried acupuncture near my ear (on November 24). Unfortunately, this caused jaw soreness and mild tinnitus. A year after the original crown, the tinnitus returned and became very loud, and the tooth became sensitive to heat.

I went back to the endodontist, who performed a CT scan and X-rays but did not find any issues. I've since ordered a mouth guard because I might be clenching my teeth, though no grinding has been observed. I've been trying cold compresses, rapid-relief sensitive toothpaste, and other remedies, but the issues have not improved since November 24.

The endodontist advised me to follow up in February. In the meantime, I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions to help calm these ongoing issues. Thank you!
