Not sure ....

Hi Mike,

I'm not a dentist, but I have a problem that sounds quite similar to
yours.  I am going to be fitted for an NTI sometime soon (I hope).  In
my case, it makes sense because it seems pretty clear that I grind my
teeth.  Whether it would help in your case, one can only guess,
especially since you didn't say that you grind your teeth.  You should
be aware, though, that you could be grinding your teeth in your sleep
and not even know it.  How do your teeth and jaw feel when you wake up?

Have you tried taking any medication for your tooth and jaw pain?  I've
found ibuprofen to be rather effective.  It's obviously not a cure, but
it can help keep the pain and inflammation under control until a
better, longer-lasting solution can be found.

Hi, I'm 28 years old male. I have this pain in the right tooth of upper
front for about a year. The pain used be intermittent but now it seems
like it's continous and getting worse and worse. Not only that but now
I feel the pain in my jaws too. Last year my dentist told me to see a
root canal specilist. And since then I've been to 2-3 different
denists, root canal specialists and recently to a TMJ specialist. No
one seems to find anything wrong with the tooth except the person who
deals with TMJ pain told me the pain in the jaws seems like it's TMJ
but pain in the front tooth has nothing to do with it and he said maybe
I should see the oral sergeon and have the tooth extracted. If no one
sees anything wrong in the x-rays why tooth extration?
Is there anything else that could be related to this pain and anything
I can do to get rid of the pain?
