eli5 – Why do teeth tingle and ache around metal or scraping noises (I.e a spoon in a bowel)
In: 281
Experience has taught me that your teeth and ears being close in proximity is the answer. I had an abscess tooth once that everyone thought was molar, I was about 21 or so and I had no issues with my molars.
No sooner than my face swelling did my dentist notice it was an abscess that it was removed. Along with my molars because everyone’s have to come out. Everything that I would hear would hurt my teeth and back again. The dentist explained that it’s normal, your nerves are all connected. It’s the nervous system, however your teeth and ears being so close they tend to hurt together.
Your body registers pain and that pain must be dealt with, your teeth tell the brain and the ears get the emotional baggage.
