What the heck... several teeth on the bottom are aching... it's on both sides of my mouth.

What is up with this?

Could you have a sinus infection? My teeth ache when I have one - often they ache just with congestion.

I second the sinus infection suggestion.

One other thought - if it's the back teeth, you could be clenching and/or grinding in your sleep.

I had this issue this year and ended up cracking 2 teeth. Had to get crowns on both of them. In my case the old fillings (which were put in when I was 13) basically wore out. Worth going to the dentist to check for sure.

Gardenparty...

I was actually just at the dentist like a week ago for my 6th month cleaning/check-up. Had xrays and everything looked a-ok then. So I don't think it's cracked teeth or anything...

I didn't even think about sinus infection... that's very possible.

Sinus stuff. I can tell you before I started using a netipot on a regular basis I would get sinus pressure that was so bad I couldn't even eat cause my teeth would hurt so bad.

Things that help, neti pot, menthol in your gum, mentholated lip stuff put a dab in your nostrils to open things up. Hot steamy showers and of course meds to get the snot moving. I'm a big fan of plain old pseudophed if you don't have blood pressure issues.

Do you have jaw pain as we'll? My teeth and jaw were aching in the morning, and I found out I was grinding my teeth at night. After wearing a mouth guard, things got much better!
