Can heart problems cause your teeth to hurt?

One symptom of a heart attack is that you can experience jaw pain which i suppose could go up to your teeth.  Considering your dad has a history of heart problems, he should probably get it checked out.  Best of luck!

If this is happening on a regular basis, definitly see a doctor!  However, this happens to me and has been since I can remember but found out when I was older that gas trapped can cause this sharp pain.  I always thought I was having a heart attack when I was a teen!!  It hurt to breath in too deep and it was a sharp pain that felt like it was in my heart area.  This only happens to me a couple of times a year.  In otherwords, it's not a regular occurance for me...

If you don't brush your teeth everyday, you will face terrible terrible things. \n\nThe mouth contains a wide variety of bacteria, but only a few specific species of bacteria cause dental caries: Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli. These bacteria convert foods—especially sugar and starch—into acids such as lactic acid created through fermentation processes. These acids seep into the tooth and can wear away tooth structure. If you don't brush everyday, conditions in the mouth would become favorable; S. mutans and Lactobacilli will continue to thrive and continue to secrete these acids. Bacteria, acid, food debris and saliva combine in the mouth to form a sticky substance called plaque that adheres to the teeth.\n\nIt is most prominent on the grooved chewing surfaces of molars, just above the gum line on all teeth, and at the margins of fillings. Plaque that is not removed from the teeth may mineralize into calculus (formerly known as tartar). Plaque and calculus irritate the gums, resulting in gingivitis. Periodontitis occurs when there is loss of gingival attachment.\n\n \nParts of a tooth, including dentinThe acids secreted by S. mutans and Lactobacilli in the plaque dissolve the enamel surface of the tooth. As the bacteria become more prolific, the bacteria will follow the advancing front of acid damage and infect the dentin within the tooth. Left untreated, carious lesions will increase in severity from small discolored stains to actual holes in the tooth (cavities). Cavities are usually painless until they grow very large inside the internal structures of the tooth (the dentin and the pulp at the core) and can kill the nerve and disrupt the blood vessels in the tooth. If left untreated, complications may occur such as acute irreversible pulpitis (infection of the pulp) or acute apical pulpitis (abcesses within the mandible.)\n\nPlaque and bacteria begin to accumulate within 20 minutes after eating, the time when most bacterial activity occurs. If plaque and bacteria are left on the teeth, cavities can develop, and untreated tooth decay can result in death of the internal structures of the tooth and ultimately the loss of the tooth.\n\nDietary sugars and starches (carbohydrates) increase the risk of tooth decay. The type of carbohydrate and the timing and frequency of ingestion are more important than the amount. Sticky foods are more harmful than nonsticky foods because they remain on the surface of the teeth. Frequent snacking increases the time that acids are in contact with the surface of the tooth.\n\nSo, you see, if you don't brush regularly, your teeth might develop caries, and you might have to go painful surgeries... and more... but I dont want to make you afraid.  So, better brush everyday rather than getting into BIG problems later.

If massage helps, the pain could indeed be muscular.  But be aware that hypertension leads to heart disease, and the heart has many ways of warning you.  Usually it is a central chest pain that indicates heart problems, but left sided neck/shoulder pain can also mean heart trouble. I'd have the person be checked out by a doctor to make sure heart is ok.  Good luck!

Tenty per cent of Americans suffer from bruxism which is grinding and clenching your teeth at night. It normally happens at night. People who do this may also chew their fingernails or pencils during the day.\n\nSymptoms of teeth grinding include:\n\n* Jaw or facial pain first thing in the morning that gradually goes away during the day;\n\n* Headaches or eachaches first thing in the morning that gradually go away;\n\n* Teeth become sensitive to cold, pressure or other stimuli;\n\n* Complaints from your partner - not applicable in this case;\n\n* Indentations on tongue;\n\n* Tips of teeth appear flattened.\n\ne-How lists several solutions. The first is seeing a dentist and getting a bite guard or getting your teeth capped. The others involve reducing your level of stress by:\n\n* Holding a warm damp cloth against your face for ten minutes before you go to bed to reduce tension;\n\n* Relax before bed by meditating, taking a hot bath or stretching;\n\n* Reduce alcohol and caffeine consumption; and\n\n* Learn to reduce stress through stress management courses and learning relaxation techniques.

I would say the key to your question is that the pain intensifies with movement. This is usually not indicative of cardiac problems. Have you tried any over the counter meds for pain relief? If it is not relieved with meds I would suggest a trip to the Dr. but it does seem like muscle or back problem.

1. The roots of teeth have usually accessory canals, that sometimes are impossible to file (cleanse and debride), therefore cannot be sealed.  Some of these contain live pulp tissue that can be causing pain.  Check with the dentist, it can be solved.\n2. If you already had a crown placed, thee bite can be high, thus causing pain, especially on mastication.  That can be solved also.\n3.  Probably a flare up of the infection that lead you to having a root canal treatment.  Can be trated.\n4.  If the tooth does not have a final restoration on it, it can be fractured.  That hurts a lot, and you are in trouble.

No pain today could equal lots of expensive dental bills tomorrow.  It would be wisest to get your dental situation fixed now rather than later for two reasons: \n1) Minimal dental work now will cost less than major dental work in the future\n2) You avoid dental work, buy your house and then end up being forced to have your dental work done due to the problem having gotten massivly worse...and receiving a bill that you can't possibly afford because all your money is tied up into the house...then you go on a payment plan with the dentist and end up burdenning yourself with another monthly payment.  Maybe the dental issue will have gotten so bad that they have to pull teeth but since you have mortgage, insurance, car ins., maybe a credit card or two by then, you have no money to pay for a bridge, crown or replacement.\n\nYou can guarantee houses will always be there in two years, but you can't guarantee your teeth will.

Well, you definitely could have gingivitis, like a lot of people have already suggested.\nBut, you could also have a more severe form of periodontal disease. The only person who is going to be able to tell you this is your dentist. Make an appointment. Your dental hygienist will "probe" which means she will measure the health of your gums. Depending on what she finds, the doctor may diagnose periodontal disease and refer you to a periodontist.\nIf your teeth are hurting, don't wait. The longer you wait, the more this could progress and you could end up losing bone and teeth.

I don't know if a cavity in one tooth can cause pain in a different tooth.....I think it's more likely that you have cavities in both teeth, sorry!

Poor oral care has been directly linked to heart disease and the build up of plaque in the arteries.\n\nAs for mental health, it can have adverse effects on one's self esteem, limit their ability to graduate upward in the work place, develop social skills and relationships.

Your problem may be with your stomach.  Do you get heartburn or sour stomach?  Do you have diabetes?  You may have acid reflux disease, or you might be burning fat and be acidotic.  If brushing and flossing don't work, talk to your doctor.  I don't recommend using mouthwash, as that can damage the inside of your mouth and cause further mouth odor.

See DENTIST ASAP!\n\nToothaches are a sign that there may be more to worry about then just a little pain. The causes of toothache are several but the major causes are, dental cavity, a cracked tooth, exposed tooth root, gum disease, disease of the jaw joint or spasms of the muscles used for chewing. It is possible for the cause of a toothache to originate from an entirely different problem such as heart attack or angina but this is quite rare. It can be noted however that some patients suffering angina will show toothache or jaw pain as the only symptoms so it is always best to let your dentist or doctor evaluate you. \n\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us/san-diego-dental-article-1.htm\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us\nhttp://san-diego-dentists.blogspot.com\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us/san-diego-dentist-tijuana-dentist.html\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us/tijuana-dentist.htm\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us/san-diego-dental-implants.html\nhttp://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attorney-legal-injury-defense-directory.com
