Drinking Tea Causing Tooth Pain. Anyone Ever Experience Anything Similar?

[Elfsinger]

Yes, I'm exactly the same. Only have teeth pain after drinking tea - not coffee or chocolate...just tea. Weird. Trying sensitive toothpaste now.

I'm quite surprised that so few on here have experienced this effect. Only the last two posters seem to have much sympathy. I've been getting this for about five or six years now and, like a couple of others, never experienced anything like it until recently. ( 68 yrs old now)
To be fair, I'm not sure it IS an actual toothache and not neuralgia that covers the whole jaw.
One thing's for sure though: it IS tea that triggers it. One thing that's odd is that when I Googled this effect this forum was about twentieth down the list; all the preceding items were about tea CURING toothache! From my own experiences I just cannot even imagine suffering toothache and having a "cuppa" to try to cure it!

Is it possible that this is a result of some kind of sinus allergy? I too get a certain kind of pain in teeth when I drink sweet tea. I never did when I was younger, but notice it most times now as an adult. I rarely have tea at home so it is usually a restaurant brew. Sometimes beer or wine can cause the same effect, (even in small amounts).

It was almost certainly a sinus issue if the dentist couldn't find anything wrong with the tooth / gums.

Yes, it could well be a sinus issue.

I used to suffer a lot from sinus issues, and one thing that does help with sinus problems is to remain well hydrated, (by that, I mean drinking around around two litres a day).

For what it is worth, I'd also suggest to Rascal 1 to actually confirm with his dentist that it is not a dental issue.

A few years ago, I suffered from an impacted wisdom tooth, and, until that was addressed, I used to suffer from excruciating migraines about once to twice a year.

I know this is an old thread, but the sinus issue is what was causing my wife's toothache. Went to the dentist and they couldn't find anything wrong with the tooth. They asked if she has been having any sinus problems and what do you know. Some antibiotics and the pain is gone!

It cant be tea. Unless your teeth is very sensitive, hot or very cold drinks can make your toothache. Good thing that you went to the dentist cause I thought it was a root canal! Whew... Did your dentist have any assumption of what may have been causing the toothache?

The other thing about sinus problems - and I have had this for years, or decades - is to work out what the triggers for an attack actually are.

For me, definitely, one was cigarette smoke, which hugely affected my sinuses. I loathe it, and always did, and could detect a single cigarette in a large room.

Actually, I have never been a smoker, but I did (and do) rather like pubs. Until anti-smoking laws were passed around a decade ago, I must say that I found visiting pubs a sort of exquisite torture, as it was a trading off of social life, and good beer, for the torture of enduring other people's second hand smoke.

However, my house has been strictly non-smoking for decades, and I am unapologetically autocratic in enforcing that; smokers can repair outside to the excellent garden, to embrace their addiction.

Another trigger - hilariously - was cannabis. Two of the worst sinus attacks of my life occurred at parties (in other people's houses) where cannabis was smoked. Now, I will not tolerate this stuff anywhere near me.

Some of the additives in food have also served as triggers; these days and for quite some time, my diet is mostly organic. And staying hydrated, is something I have found hugely helpful with sinus problems, which I have already mentioned.

Lately my lower most back tooth has been killing me. So much so I can't tolerate the pain.

I noticed this began when I was drinking tea in the mornings. I find this odd considering I was living in China for the better half of 2011 and was drinking tea on an almost daily basis without any tooth pain.

I can chalk it up and think that it perhaps could be the specific type of tea I've lately been drinking, considering I just purchased a new brand from a local Japanese supermarket.

I went to the dentist and the dentist showed no signs of any cavities of problems, which is quite odd.

My life is so random sometimes! (Cries)

Yes. I do have the same problem. Only when drinking coffee or tea. The left bottom wisdom tooth. Tooth is perfectly OK. It happens with tea or coffee, hot, warm,or cold doesn't matter. I am curious to know what causes it.

You have to get to a dentist! They will answer your question!

Yes! This is happening to me! I've been suffering toothaches for years & Ive finally realised it was the cuppa tea that was causing them. Stopped drinking tea & no more toothache! I drink coffee with no problems. Yesterday I had my first tea in ages. Now I'm sitting here with a throbbing tooth! Its definitely the tea.

[doublepost=1515580660][/doublepost]It's because the tea dries out your mouth. A constant dry mouth leads to cavities and tooth decay. I have the same problem right now it goes away when I stop drinking it. Try drinking it through a straw and see if that helps.

Yeah, I seem to get it after Black Tea sometimes or sugar substitutes like Stevia or maybe Erythritol. Does that sound right?

 

[Rodikenley]

Don't all sweet drinks (tea, coffee, coke and other fizzy drinks, fruit cordials) all contain sugar?
The only drink I have that contains no sugar is Volvic.

No, I've bought unsweetened bottled tea before from Giant Eagle in Ohio where I live.
