Question 4

No way to predict: Teeth are exquisitely sensitive sensory organs and when traumatized or injured can cause sensitivity for weeks or years! every situation is different and every patient is unique, so the best answer is one that a trained dental professional can offer after reviewing your medical and dental history and the history involved with your tooth related problem.

Can you stop?: The periodontal ligament (pdl) surrounds each tooth root in-between it and the bone.  It is made up of the same fibers that make up the ligaments in your joints.  If you can give them rest they will heal and start to feel better in 7 to 10 days.

Question 6

I would suggest: You be seen by a dentist for an evaluation / x-ray.  It is very possible the tooth will require endodontic therapy.  Please see a dentist as soon as possible if you haven't already.  Hope this helps and thanks for the question.

Question 7

how long does it take for a ligament sprain/pull/bruise to heal?

Accepted Answer

6-8 weeks: Most ligaments subjected to partial tearing heal in 6-8 weeks, however ligament in question should be protected from further stresses or injury during this period.  This is most often accomplished with hinged brace allowing movement of joint but protecting injured ligament.  Some ligaments (acl) have little to no capacity to heal.

Not long: If tooth was in hyper function, adjusting the occlusion should result in almost immediate reduction of symptoms.  Like any other bruise it should begin healing as soon as the "insult" is removed.  If still sore after a week, or if soreness increases, call your Dentist again.
