Don't laugh but....buzzing teeth?!

Ok this is probably a new one for you and I'm new to this game. Having completed run2 of wk 3 today (hurrah!).....struggled a bit but I noticed that when I'm running my teeth feel like they are buzzing! There is no other way to describe it 😂. It's like I've got a bumble bee in my gums.

Anyone get this? ....or should I get my coat 😂😜.

Really enjoying reading all your posts by the way, I do lurk quite a bit and take on board all the tips etc 😊

Probably feeling the pulsations of your increased heartrate through your gums ... either that or you've swallowed an angry insect! ;-) Well done on the run by the way ... !

Hummmm not sure about that. I've never heard of buzzy gums, however when I had a tooth abscess many moons ago, any sort of exertion made my gums throb. If it carries on, maybe book in for a check up with your dentist. Having said that, we've probably got a dentist on the forum who can offer some advice. Good luck, hope it's something entirely trivial :)

Personal question....Do you have fillings...?

I only ask, because my dentist told me years ago that the cold can really affect some people's fillings.. I described it as tingling teeth, when I had been out in the cold.. ! Might be that...?

I wear a Buff and pull it up over my mouth loosely to protect against the cold ..so, if it bothers you, maybe that would help:)

Well done on Week 3 too! Hurrah!

I've got a couple of fillings but not anything unusual. Been to dentist recently, nothing amiss. Aah well. It's just be one of those things 😄.

I get that sometimes too! I think it's just the result of breathing more than usual, so sucking more air in around my teeth. It doesn't hurt, just feels a bit like pins and needles.

When I run I get pain in my bottom teeth and gums. I also get an over production of saliva. I have had this effect since I was little.

No real buzzing though.

If someone has been successful in treating this, please pass along tx.  I have had this problem for over two years.  It is increasing in frequency and intensity.  Thoroughly checked out with my dentist and discussed with my pcp.   They have no idea what is causing this.

Same page. I recently started to run way more and this sensation is constant daily. doesn't hurt but very aware it is there. Dentist think night guard but i honestly don't think that's where the issue resides. haven't found a solution just yt, have you????

I have experienced this as well, But during sex. Buzzing is a good way to describe it. I described it as “tingling”. But it was all my teeth- top & bottom. It didn’t hurt and was actually pretty silly feeling.

Same thing happens to me!! I've been able to draw correlations between the teeth buzzing experiences and they all have something in common--a heightened state of awareness and almost an out of body experience. A lot of times certain physical experiences can be explained in metaphysical terms that don't have names in our machinery-based way of understanding the human body.

I totally know this feeling except it's only in my 2 front top teeth and I only feel this buzzing when I drink too much caffeine. It's so weird!

I’ve had this too. It can happen when you talk, hum, kiss, run, jump... pulling the teeth will only lead to phantom tooth pains. It’s called trigeminal neuralgia. For the love of Pete do not pull your teeth. That only makes it worse. I have been referred to the pain clinic by my neurologist for nerve block injections. Fingers crossed.
