I have advanced decay in my mouth. I have recently started seeing a dentist, and he has done three root canals and two veneer fillings on front teeth. I've found that since he did the first prof cleaning, my gums have been receding, and often become inflamed. I am consistently in pain, in various areas of my mouth, due to all the cavities. I have also noticed fatigue, occasional constipation, consistent indigestion, jaw pain, and excessive bone cracking in almost all my joints. I've been to the doc, and had a physical, said everything looks ok. I'm wondering of these symptoms could be simply cause by a combination of stress, dental pain, and gingivitis. I also have tinnitus, and clicking in the ears, probably from tmj, but I feel like something more might be going on. Any feedback or ideas would be appreciated.
