Although im only 20, i wanted to know if it was still possible i can loose my teeth? I've been having some stabbing pain in them for quite a while now
i dont know if this is normal with Lyme or something i should be worried about? I know the older lymies told me they lost their teeth

You need to have a good dentist look at them. Lyme or not stabbing pains in your teeth is not normal.

I have never had stabbing pains in my teeth, but I did go through a few month period where they felt loose to me. Couldn't wriggle them, but some how they felt loose.
But this was back when my jaw muscles were so weak it was hard for me to eat anything that required a lot of chewing. Eating nuts made my jaw muscles weak for days.
But yeah, get to the dentist.

i doubt the dentist will see anything. I think that will be just a waste of time based upon what others with the similar problem said

Stabbing tooth pain was my first Lyme symptom. It is most likely the trigeminal nerve that is affected. The trigeminal nerve is the 5 th cranial nerve and is responsible for sensation. So if it is affected you can get nerve pain anywhere along this nerve.
Google trigeminal nerve and you can see how it runs along your face, teeth, eyes, and the front of your tongue.

I'm starting to see a biological dentist to see if it's any help for the teeth/jaw pain I've been having for months. I also tried lyrica which helped, but also gave me a headache. Now i have neurontin but haven't tried it yet.
I think with lyme it can be important to have a biological dentist who knows more about overall health and the teeth. Seems most standard dentists don't approach it that way.

If you want to try something on your own. Try oil pulling, there are many past threads about it. Or you could google it.
Oil pulling lowers the plaque and bacteria your mouth has to address.
An old ayurvedic remedy it to chew on cloves when you have the sensitivity. It has a natural numbing quality. Google that as well.
Good luck...

I guess this means that you haven't seen a dentist in a while. You can schedule an appointment for a cleaning, and let them do xrays of the teeth to see if there are any cavities forming.
You don't want to ignor this.

I didn't read all the comments but yes, stabbing tooth pain I think is fairly common among Lymies. I know I have dealt with it on and off for years. For me, any type of tooth pain is the WORST! I just can't seem to deal with pain in my mouth. My head, legs, stomach, I'm fine, I know how to deal with it, but not the teeth thing.
I doubt a dentist would be of any help. The only thing I would maybe suggest is to find a good toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Somehow it helps with the nerve stuff and worked for me for a while. And it costs $10 MAX!
I hope it lets up for you soon!

Do you have ANY gerd, or digestive unrest? Do you take calcium and magnesium?
My teeth went straight downhill without those but even LLMD's say they are not connected and they sure were for me.
Didnt hurt so much as got holes striaght thru the teeth and some just crumbled.

I've had tooth/teeth pain for years before I knew what lyme was.
My teeth are in better shape today because I've cleaned up one tooth at a time my mouthful of silver crowns and fillings. I had 9 ugly deadly silver crowns. This took over 2 yrs. One dead Root Canal left for removal in '11.
But teeth/tooth pain has been part of the lyme & co symptoms for me. It moves around and pops up here and there.
It goes away and pops up somewhere else in a few weeks or couple months.
I've had loosening of one quad and then it will tighten back up, with tons of work from me.
Right now my left ear is killing me and it's moved down to the lower left molar. Time to use my rife and zap this away.
Just need to get lucky and hope I pick the right freqs to rid it. I'll start with staph, because in the past that can work.

Transient teeth pain is one of my lingering symptoms as I get better...it does not feel like "normal" dental issues, more like biting pressure (without biting on anything) than pain. Sometimes gone for days, appears for minutes or hours, only to disappear. Sometimes only on one side, but usually is symmetrical. No dental problems found by dentists.

Well as usual using my rife and running staph helped my tooth and ear pain.
Blue, you're right sometimes the dentists can't see the reason for pain. Sometimes I have obvisious inflammation around the irritated tooth and sometimes nothing visual.
Many times over the years on lymenet I've seen hundreds of others post about teeth pain/pressure/etc and upset because the dentist tells them....there's nothing there.
Nothing with the naked eye, but you show it to a dentist that knows how to look at real dental exays and identify the enemies and cavations and you've found a dentist that knows the body and mouth connection.

My son has tooth pain in different teeth... migrating and seemingly random with no cavities or cause.
When I investigate further, it always seems to correlate with the organ the tooth connects with.
This may seem far fetched to some... but I find it to be true.

Tooth pain was one of my symptoms with Lymes. I had such pain that I had root canals retreated. I must of had xray all my teeth and found nothing. I had P/T on my neck and it took away the tooth pain. I think because I was in pain cause I was clenching my teeth at night. I feel your pain. Tooth pain is the worst.
I hope you feel better soon!

I had loose teeth before I knew I was sick. My dentist felt every tooth, then he said, 'umm, I don't quite know how to say this, but...every last one of your teeth is loose."
That was 11 years ago. I had my new dentist check them after three years of treatment. They are no longer loose.
I do still have sensative teeth issues when I'm not on abx. It sucks.

My teeth were loose before getting dx. They tightened up after treating for awhile. I still get aching in my teeth that I believe is nerve pain.

momlyme, yes the tooth/organ chart is great tool to aid one in what's happening in the total body/teeth connection.

You don't need Lyme to have teeth problems, but what I'm referring to is sensations due to the trigeminal nerve...teeth sensations are sometimes accompanied by facial numbness and forehead pressure, all 3 sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve. My teeth and gums are fine, and have been for many years.
