For the last 8 years I periodically get extreme teeth pain starting in my front upper or lower teeth. At first, the pain occurred infrequently and went away after taking Ibuprofen. The last few years the pain is more frequent and severe. Typically, this only occurs after I ride my mountain bike, and thus breath through my mouth, when the weather is cool. Oddly, the pain doesn't start until about a half hour after I'm out of the cool and have been in a warmer environment. The pain never occurs when I exercise in the warm summer.
Many times I've been to my dentist about this issue and she says my teeth are in great shape and has no idea as to the cause. For this same problem, I've been to a periodontist, endodontist, neurologist and ear nose and throat doctor. They all say nothing is wrong.
Desperate to try anything, I paid my dentist to make a couple mouthpieces, one for sleeping and the other for when I exercise. I've worn these for about a year without any difference in outcomes. Also, without any noticeable difference, I regularly use sensitive toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash.
Recently, in researching my situation, I ran across an article on the movement of fluid within the dentinal tubules. The described symptoms are similar to what I'm experiencing. The problem is that this articles solution is different types of sensitive toothpaste which I've already tried without success.
At this point I don't know what else to try. I do have and appointment with a TMJ dentist in about a month but I don't seem to have many of the same symptoms of jaw issues.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
