Is it possible that to much T3 can cause toothache?

I know I wrote about this 2 years ago, and this problem is still on-going. I just don't seem to be able to identify the cause.

Is it possible too much T3 could cause my teeth to ache and be very sensitive?

Thanks for that, I had one made for me then left the dentist, not even sure if I paid for it, I was convinced it wasn't bruxism...Will have to re-think this one, thank you.
