I was in a car accident a few weeks ago. Before the impact, I screamed, and once the impact occurred, my head was flung about and my mouth must have been forced/flung shut.
Immediately after the accident, my mouth was sore, and I could tell that some of my teeth had shifted and were not in the same place they had been before the accident. I also noticed that a couple teeth felt sensitive whenever I drank something cold.
I decided to wait a little while to see if the discomfort subsided. Well, after two weeks, I have gotten used to the moved teeth now, but the cold sensitivity has gotten much worse. I can't seem to drink anything even remotely cold without having to sit through pain for a good 20 seconds or more, until it subsides.
What could cause this? Are my teeth cracked? Should I visit a dentist (I have already scheduled an appointment), or some other form of tooth/mouth doctor?
Teeth sensitivity and shifting?
I haven't counted how much I've spent on dental this year -- it's a LOT! But it's all for good!
It sounds to me like you have exposed roots, or even oxygen (air) reaching deeper into the nerve channels. This is assuming you had great dental health before. But even if you didn't, this trauma may have exposed problems to come in a few years. Either way, you're seeing a dentist and when the X-Rays show what's really going on, you'll have some idea. They might be able to use some force (under anaethesia of course) to re-orient the teeth, since it's been a very short period. There's a ligament that each tooth sits within, and that has a certain amount of mobility -- it's why they can use a wedge to temporarily shift a tooth a small amount to give you a filling-- and then the tooth resets itself. Sounds like yours may have shifted enough that the bifurcations (where the roots branch off) are locked against each other; and it will be a simple matter of moving them.
Good Luck -- I know dental pain -- and I hope yours is over SOON... :)
