Last October all of the teeth in my mouth became very sore. There was no
throbbing, they were just sensitive to hot/cold/touch. Some teeth were
worse than others, bottom right molars, front incisors. But it varied from
day to day. This lasted a few days and went away.
This happened again about two weeks ago, but has not subsided yet. I do have
a slight taste in my mouth, but no bleeding, no swelling, no loose teeth. I
stopped by to see my dentist about a week ago, but he did not even look at
them, just pushed the night guard. I'm more inclined to thing it's a general
infection rather than grinding, as I do have some issues with receding gums.
I've been using Sensodyne about two years and I go heavy on the mouth wash
when these issues crop up. I had an Apiectomy a few months ago, but I doubt
it's related. Any suggestions for some relief, other than a new dentist. I'm
getting tired of soup.

If your pain is primarily to biting pressure, and esp. if your muscles
are tight and it hurts to open your mouth wide, Amatus is probably
correct--clenching and grinding. But the bad taste suggests you may in
fact have a gum infection.
Unfortunately, impossible to tell without examining you.

Thanks,
I had a dull headache at the back of my head for a couple of days when this
started so that's likely why the DDS suspected grinding. I started taking
Vitamin C again (it's been a few months) and the problem seems to have
cleared right up. It's likely a coincidence, but I can't argue with the
results.
