 Running can be hard on your body, and it is common to feel strains, sprains, and other problems with your aching joints and muscles after your runs. However, what about tooth pain? If you are experiencing excruciating tooth pain as a result of your running plan, it is important to understand why this pain sometimes occurs and what you can do to manage it.What it Might Feel Like Tooth pain while running can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation. Some runners also experience pain around the ears and jaws, and hot weather conditions could cause the symptoms to worsen. It is thought that when the feet hit the ground, the vibrating impact could affect an underlying dental condition, or if you were to have food lodged between your teeth, you could be experiencing discomfort. This pain could be the sign of anything form a cavity to a crack in your teeth. Grinding and SinusitisTwo other major factors in tooth pain and running include grinding and sinusitis. Many people grind their teeth while they exercise, and as we dig deep to push ourselves to continue forward, we clench and rub our teeth together. This can be a major contributing factor to tooth pain, and if you grind your teeth at night while you are asleep, you could cause wear that worsens when running.Sinusitis is also a known cause of tooth pain during running. This condition results in inflammation of the sinus cavities, and it can sometimes cause the nostrils to plug up. The sinuses are typically filled with air, but when they become filled with germs and fluid, these things can cause an infection. If you experience chronic sinusitis, you can contact your dentist or doctor for treatment options, as saline nose drops and other nasal decongestants can be helpful in controlling your symptoms and possibly reducing your tooth pain while you are running. For acute cases, antibiotics will likely be prescribed. What You Should Take Away from this PainIf you are experiencing severe tooth pain when running, take this as a sign that you need to make an appointment with your dentist. He or she can perform a checkup to see if there is a cavity, abscess, or hidden infection that might be causing your pain.There are a few other techniques that you might want to try when that painful feeling sets in, especially before you are able to see your dentist:
