Tooth pain, no cavities
Does anyone else diagnosed with EDS, experience random tooth pain? I get tooth pain randomly, even though my teeth have been checked and there's no cavities. Doesn't seem to be any gum disease either.
They sit awfully cramped and sideways under xray seeing it due to the EDS of course, but it doesn't feel like the wonkiness is the pain as it doesn't feel like it's deep in the gum. It just feels more general gum/teeth pain.
I do also have a rubbish bite where the teeth all jank together so that doesn't help. Of course, the inevitable TMJ too.
I did say to my dentist it's probably just my EDS being random as it always is.
I did see the x-ray myself and had a very good look, and was happy that I couldn't see anything cavity or rot wise or anything.
One day it'll randomly be one tooth, and that'll hurt for some days on and off, then another tooth randomly on and off.
As I say, I've been to the dentist and there's no cavities or any concern with the teeth.
I did consider getting braces, but after research and deliberation before, it seems like a painful process (and paying out of pocket) when I'm in my mid 30s now, and that they would shift back overnight or within hours as soon as the braces were taken off after years of effort (I've read some of your EDS teeth brace stories throughout the subreddit history). I can't imagine the mouth sores and pain with EDS skin (and mouth) being so fragile to cuts and scrapes from the wiring in the mouth.
I'm not really looking for any solution as I don't think there is any tbh. Just seeking if anyone else relates in the "high 5 Zebra club"
Just in case it's relevant, I'm in the UK and see a NHS dentist.
