Why do my teeth hurt
Jaw and teeth pain
The back of my teeth top and bottom are starting to hurt. Lately I have been noticing that my jaw and the back of my teeth hurt. They are sore and I can not seem to really open my mouth wide. I went to the dentist and he told me that I do not have any cavities and my teeth are fine. I did not at the time tell him how they were hurting because it just started.
However since I just had a check up less then two months ago I do not think I have any cavities. Any one have any ideas as to why they hurt now?

Go back to your dentist. Have him check for two things. One is TMJ. TMJ seems to hurt or make peoples jaw sore. the other possible cause could be that you are grinding you teeth at night when you sleep. Your dentist maybe able to see signs on your teeth if you are grinding at night.
