I wish you could get some answers from someone. I have the same thing but it is almost all my teeth. I have been to 7 regular dentist, one orthodontist, one endodontist, ent, regular go and a neurologist and they can't tell me why my teeth are killing me. I have never had any trouble with my front bottom teeth. None of them have a filling but if I tap or scratch them with a fingernail it kills me. If you find out anything please let me know. Good luck.

one of your low front incisors is overloaded. I can see the periodental space is clearly wider than other teeth. could be malocclussion of that incisor.
Thank you so much for responding!! I feel your pain and i know how miserable it can make you feel, especially when doctors seem to have no answers. Im trying not to give up hope and i hope you dont either!! I will post updates here if i have any and i would love if you would do the same. Best of luck to you as well.

If I find out anything at all I will post what I find. I have read so much on the internet hoping to find out any information on these problems I have. I wish I knew for sure if it is strictly dental, neurological or both. If I may ask, did your problem just start all of a sudden? Also is that just a standard xay? I understand there are different kinds of x rays that show different things. I think there is one like a cone beam that shows nerves, blood vessels etc. I am beginning to wonder about dentist. I just looks like if you have pain in most all your teeth they would have a clue as to what your problem is. I'll let you know if I find out anything and good luck.
Wow. I am in the exact same boat as you. In fact I could have written your post myself. I have spent countless hours on the internet researching and honestly it just makes me more confused. Where one website says one thing, another says the opposite. Thats why i figured i would turn to a forum hoping someone would relate to whats going on with me and have some insight. The question of dental vs. neurological has been driving me insane i cant figure it out!! Is there a way to know for sure? I have trouble accepting a “possibility” type of answer. My problem did start all of a sudden. I had extensive orthodontic work many years ago and never once had an issue or complaint. As far as i know that x ray is just standard but i have also done much research on more detailed xrays such as cone beam and the like. Its hard to find a place that even takes those x rays, nevermind a dentist who feels it is necessary to send me for one!! This has been such a nightmare. In your case, have you looked into possible teeth grinding, or bite problems as the cause of your pain? I hear that both can actually be extremely painful. Best of luck and once again thank you for the support and replies. If nothing else, we are not alone.

I am sorry to hear other people are having this and can't get an answer. I like you am totally confused and don't know which way turn. I have never had any orthodontist work done. I had a crown put on my top back (#2 I think ) 5 or 6 years ago and had the tooth below it refilled. The dentist was supposed to do a root canal on it but didn't. ( That's another story) but other than that I haven't had any dental work done and wasn't having any trouble. Just a cleaning every 6 months.
All my problems started after that one visit. Are basically all your teeth like this. All mine are but the fronts top and bottom seem the worst. I think I said the ones with crowns and root canals seem the worst. I just don't have any faith in the dentist around here. I did go to a dentist in a different town that supposedly has all the modern equipment, told her my problems and she didn't really do anything different than anyone else. I told her about my teeth and that my bite did and does seem off. Only thing she wanted to to was do a grinding type of adjustment ( called a t scan or tech scan) and them make me another mouth guard. She did recommend a sleep study to see if I grind my teeth. I had one of those done and they said I have mild sleep apnea but I didn't or don't grind my teeth which I didn't think I did. I really don't think my bite is off that much it is just that my teeth hurt so bad when they come together it magnifies my bite. I really don't think bite is my problem but I am not sure.
Lets try and keep this going and maybe someone can help up out. Maybe a good dentist will read it and have a suggestion. The one neurologist I went to ( which I didn't care for ) said it was dental but I still don't believe it bit I don't know. Only thing he did was have a mri on my head done and that was his conclusion
I have read tons of pages on fluoride and I don't know if it has anything to do with what I have but I suspect it. It is just to strange that all this happened after I had the fluoride treatment. I suspect that it penetrated my gums and has did something to my teeth. It is a fact that it will penetrate your gums.
Let me know if you find out anything. By the way I am a 71 year old male and live in Louisiana.
