Hi

I have mentioned a few times about my strange anxiety in my teeth .

Dentist had done root canals due to having apparent tooth discomfort giving me terrible anxiety .

I still get strange sensations in these areas , my tongue won't stop thrusting these areas which brings on my anxiety ,dentist said he can't find any thing wrong , this brings on my anxiety , it makes me feel so down and miserable , I Havant come across any one with this problem which makes me think something must be wrong with my teeth , it had gone on for months ....

My teeth feel big to lower left and a strange burning / contraction feeling

Which makes my tongue immediately go to the teeth ..

On and off through out day ..

Taking Amitriptyline which helped a lot to start , still think it does but feel I don't want to be taking it for ever and yearn for normality ..

My tongue also keeps thrusting at other dental work the dentist did to try and stop problem !!!!!

Please help / advise /support !!!!

Get another opinion from an oral surgeon, not for surgery , but because they specialize in that area and may have another idea to give you relief

Thank you for your reply .

My dentist is convinced there are no issues ...

Second opinion would be good idea , prob annoy my dentist !!!

I use the technique from Dare book , recognise it , try not to fear it , welcome it ....

This helps to a degree when my mind is in the correct place , go off track st times ..

Coping better than I did in the summer , that was horrendous !!!!!!!

Perm in fear , could not sleep , woke up frightened of my own body ..am settling fine but can't let go of what ifs when I'm down ...

Hello

Just read your profile .

Found it so interesting .

I am always studying anxiety .Have been on CBT course , sadly struggle to keep putting it into place !!!

I often listed to Dare audio which I have found helpful ...

Sometimes I am very positive and other times I really loose my way ..!!!!

Would everything to be as it was !!!!

You're telling your tongue to check out your recent rot canal, much like a Mom checks on their child's recent fever. Perfectly "normal" behaviour. I can understand your anxiety around this, but, really, there's nothing going on to be concerned about.

Hi Darryl

Thank you for your reply .

I developed so many issues in my mouth ( removal of teeth from damaged crown and old root canal , abscess that required a root canal also , still awaiting a crown , post placed and my tongue won't stop thrusting there also , my dentist could not believe why so much happened and feels it was down to stress / anxiety , causing my immune system to be weak , I have had blood test done which came back clear )

My mouth feels traumatised , Tongue keeps thrusting all areas , get burning / strange feeling from lower two root canals , nothing has. One up on X-rays to say there is a problem ..

Think trauma , anxiety causing it but keep worrying and getting anxious with sensations .

I feel the tongue issue you mentioned is connected ..

It had been a night mare that hadn't ended and I csntcrejsc eith it all most of the time ..

Just want my old life back .

Thank you again for replying and giving support also everyone else that has gone to trouble to reply .

I have got myself in such a state about this situation , some days can't see the wood for the trees

IIf my head is nit in the right place and my tongue starts thrusting these areas and I feel these strange burning type sensations , soreness ..

I really freak out and get that scary anxiety in my naval area that puts me on edge , I try to except , recognise it and try and stay calm , I don't always win !!!

[Paulina21]

Would like both if you don't mind .

Its not just you. I have two fractured teeth that need attention. Neither hurts too bad but knowing its a matter of time makes me all the more anxious. I hate dentist visits anyway and just have to feel better than this to deal with it. Be glad your dentist feels yours r good. One of mine is infected too..
