Hurting teeth when sneezing or Yawning for PSPs

[Adamxd]

Hello everyone,

My mother has recently been struggling with her teeth when sneezing or yawning , Yesterday she keeps asking for some cotton to be put in her mouth (at night) to prevent teeth cracking when sneezing coz it hurts...

Is there any recommendations or Return of Experience amongst you guys ?

Thanks in advance

That is a puzzling symptom. Is it her upper teeth that hurt? It could be due to her sinuses. There are sinuses right next to the upper teeth, and sinus pressure (like from a cold) or sinus infections can cause tooth pains. Another possibility is irritation of the TMJ, the jaw joint just in front of the ear. It would be tender if you press on it while she opens and closes her mouth. Or she could have actual tooth problems.

Could try a decongestant, and Tylenol or ibuprofen, if she is allowed to have those. If it keeps up, a dentist or doc should be able to figure it out.
