Hey family, still trying to piece together the puzzle for symptomatic relief for my son.
Another piece of the puzzle may be the fact that he now has sensitive teeth. He was given toothpaste specific to it when he brushes, but it did not help. In fact, it's worse.
Does anyone know what this could indicate?
Thanks Loads,

Hi 2Roads
Fluoride does this to me everytime. Sensodyne toothpaste is awful for folks with fluoride sensitivity. I think it probably works good for porous teeth, but has so much junk in it my mouth was a disaster. Any fluoride toothpaste now...ugh. Suffering.
Does he have a soft toothbrush? Extra soft may help.
Also, if I eat anything with a gummy sticky texture, my teeth hurt for a few days. Like delicious sour gummy candies that I no longer enjoy, even though I think of them a lot. Sigh.
Haha.
Is he grinding or clamping his teeth at night while he sleeps? I wear a mouthguard now at night and my teeth barely barely bother me, unless I clamp them during the day. Figuring this out was a big help for me. A dentist can take one look and tell if he's grinding them while he sleeps.
Hope he feels better soon.

To me sensitive teeth indicates a bacterial invasion. I have had to deal with this.
I've done two things that have helped.
MMS mouthwashes after first brushing, then flossing. 4 drops activated and added to warm about 2 ounces warm water does it. Try to swish so that it moves forcefully between the teeth. May be hard for a kid for generally there isn't much space between teeth when young. No need to swallow. Just swish for about 1-2 minutes and spit. Two ounces allows you to do it two or three times.
Rife frequencies with the pads placed on each side of the jaw near the issues. I cranked it up so that I could feel the frequencies running through the teeth. The interesting thing is that I could only feel the frequencies in the teeth that were bothering me. No matter how high I turned it no other teeth could feel it.
Stop all conventional tooth paste. Use Spry or any toothpaste that has xylitol in it and NO FLUORIDE! Xylitol has been proved to keep bacterial counts down.

My teeth are sensitive and Sensodyne doesn't help.
Grinding my teeth at night made my teeth super sensitive and several would ache at the same time. I was really concerned. I started wearing my tmj device again and within 2-3 nights they were much better.

Thanks for the replies.
He has a dentist appointment this Wednesday for a cleaning. I want to make sure his enamel and gums are healthy.
I was going to by Amy's toothpaste, I think it is called. It's supposed to be all natural.
Thanks too for the tip on no fluoride carmen.
I was hoping maybe a natural mineral might be involved, like magnesium. I have read about that from a past link WRTo Keeblers thoughts.
I just started him on Mag glycinate 100 mg per day.
He's 100 pounds and 5'1'.
I don't think he grids though. Again, I will ask the dentist.
ugh....

For me it usually means inflammation in the sinuses.

Protomyxzoa Rheumatica causes tooth pain. For me it felt like a cavity - a sharp nerve pain. The dentist took X-rays and nothing was there.
If his gums are receding, that could be from babesia. I got SO MANY cavities when I was treating babesia. Your teeth just rot.
Try giving him xylitol. It kills the bacteria that cause plaque, to help prevent cavities. You need at least 6 grams to do any good and most gum only has a fraction of that. There are gums that have more but they are kind of pricey, so you could also give him tea with a ts of xylitol.
You can buy it at the health food store. It is a natural sweetener made from birch trees, that has no calories. It is good for destroying biofilm especially if you combine it with lactoferrin. You could give him the tea and a 250 mg capsule of lactoferrin.

Spry toothpaste is very good. No fluoride and it has Xylitol which is supposed to be pretty good.
I have very sensitive teeth, too.
I would mention to the hygienist that his teeth are sensitive so they will be gentle.

At the dentists office they may want to bath his teeth in fluoride. Watch out for that and if you dont want it you better tell them before hand.
Here is a site that tells about biomemetic dentistry and how to find a really good dentist. I wont go near any other kind.

I like Spry, I can also tolerate Tom's. Mint actually irritates my teeth, so that was a big piece to the puzzle.
