Have you ever noticed that strange, uncomfortable feeling in your teeth—almost like they’re out of alignment or doing something they shouldn’t?
While it’s easy to brush it off, sometimes a "funny" feeling can be an early warning sign that something more serious is going on.
Here's when you should consider reaching out to your dentist:
One of the most common causes of a tooth feeling funny is a crack in your tooth. Cracks can occur for many reasons: biting down too hard on something, trauma to the face, or even everyday wear and tear. A cracked tooth might not always hurt immediately, but it can lead to sensitivity, discomfort, or even infection if left untreated. If you notice sharp pain when chewing or a lingering discomfort, don’t wait—schedule a dental visit.
Another red flag when a tooth is feeling funny is spontaneous pain, or feeling pain when having hot food or hot drink. These symptoms can sometimes be due to an issue with the nerve of the tooth and should be addressed as soon as possible.
