A member asked:
Will the 2013 flu shot cause tooth pain?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Flu shots are so easy that they are hardly even noticeable these days. I cannot imagine how tooth pain would be related to a flu shot.

Irrelevant: There can be many causes for tooth pain, including dental decay, an injury or infection, but a 2013 flu shot is not one of them.
