I have had pain on my lower teeth on my left side for the past month. Specifically it's teeth numbers 20 and 21. It's a dull pain and I wake up and worry about it every day. I have seen TWO dentists who have both said nothing is wrong and have performed every test imaginable to see if they can find anything wrong with them. They even did an official check-up to see if it was referred pain, but nothing. Sometimes the pain will shift to my molars, and other times to my bottom anteriors. They thought maybe it was grinding or clenching, and they grinded them down, but they still hurt. I am on Clinpro 5000 toothpaste as well as MI paste, and I feel like I am going insane. I have seen an endodontist, and nothing. They are sensitive to hot, cold, and sweet foods. I do have depression and anxiety, and I have been messing with them all month long. I keep pushing them with my tongue and tapping on them, to test their sensitivity. It's hard to sleep without thinking about them, and I keep convincing myself that I'll have this pain for forever.
How can I stop thinking about my teeth? If three dentists have told me there is nothing wrong, how can I convince myself to stop messing with them? Is there any reason why they could still be hurting?
