Mouth pain over a year, no help or end in sight

No traumatic event. A functional disorder doctor? Not heard of that. It's mainly the molars that are sharp and feels like not enough room in mouth. My teeth leave scallop marks. Dentists don't belive lack of room since I'm in my 40's.

Hello, I'm sorry that you're going through such discomfort. I believe what @celia16 was trying to refer to is Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS), a hypersensitivity to non-noxious stimuli. I live with CSS and most of what I've read you describe, sounds like CSS. Weird Sensations that you would swear something is physically wrong yet no test, no doctor or specialist can physically see or prove what it is you feel.
I am confused by your teeth leaving scalloped marks, however. Can you please explain what scallop marks mean? Have you shown these scallop marks to your dentist or doctor? How do they explain the marks, if so?
Also, curious if you experience any other physical problems or chronic issues? (Whew, sorry for the gazillion questions!)

I’m new to Functional disorders, so I’m not the best one to explain, but it can cover a large range of physical symptoms for which a cause is illusive. I’m searching for a doctor to see if that’s what I have. I also have distinct symptoms of neuropathy, though my neurologist says I don’t have it.
