Dental Pain from Phantom Tooth

If they have ruled out soft tissue issues from extraction damage, it makes me wonder if they left a root fragment. It seems to me there has to be a nerve root somewhere facilitating nerve pain.

i've had all but 7 teeth removed back in 2009. and yes, i sometimes get phantom toothaches. now i don't know anything about maybe any root fragments being left there. but the pain is not severe. but more like a low dull pain. and i don't know if acupuncture would help. i've never tried it. good luck, d

I know nothing whatsoever about acupuncture. Good luck!

Might be bone loss in the jaw. That is what happened to me. And as far as dental pain, as an emergency heart valve surgery patient and subsequent heart transplant recipient I can honestly say that i would rather have open heart surgery than go to the sadist... I mean dentist.
Best always,

I have recently started to get a slight pain in all of my teeth. It’s feels like cold air is touching them. All of the time now. Has anyone else had this weird felling? Nothing in my guns, just teeth.

i don't remember what that is called. but you probably developed micro holes in your teeth. breathing in the air causes this. plus maybe hot water like tea or coffee will cause this effect also. making them sensitive to both cold & hot.
