tooth pain

[pinkladie0333]

hi, im a 23yr female and just started working out, i have been getting tooth pain in my front teeth during and after each workout, can anybody help me out on why this is happening?

[eastcoastsurfer]

Are you biting down when you workout? Is there any exercise in particular where the pain comes from?

[pinkladie0333]

No i dont believe i am biting down, its painful in the gum region where my front tooth connects, i do my weightlifting then cardio and found when doing cardio is when it hurts.

If you're running I could see how the impact on the body could cause a toothache where you already had some prior issue (a cavity or surgury?). I would check with a doctor to be on the safe side.

Are you subconsciously pressing your tongue against the back of your teeth? That could cause pain at the root.

Pink, I have worked in a dental office as an assistant for about 5 years. Short of grinding your front teeth (forward and backward) I don't see any normal reason you should be having tooth/gum pain.
Unless...1. Do you brush regularly and if so do you brush in semi-circles?
2. Do you go to your dentist at least every 6 months for a cleaning?
3. Have you ever been told you have gingivitis or any gum disease (periodontitis)?

My thoughts are that if you are experiencing pain at gum/tooth margin during excercise it's because of the increased blood flow to the area. In cases of infection or inflammation you will get a greater increase of blood flow to those areas causing the discomfort.
Gingivitis is a gum infection and it doesn't matter how old you are, but it is reversable. I have know people at age 23 with moderate to severe Periodontitis (irreversible) and cause bone loss...eventually gingivitis progresses into bone loss if nothing is done.

so give me some more info and I might better "guide" you

Also, I forgot to mention incase you think I'm nuts...a problem in your gums can make your teeth feel like they are hurting. Unless it's specifically one exact tooth that has sharp pain.

I dunno, maybe its a looong shot, but i know one time i got palmed in the nose, and it was very close to breaking it and my two front teeth felt like they got knocked out, maybe it could be something with your nose?
