What does it mean if my teeth starts to hurt when the plane starts to land?

Dr. Gary Sandler answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Airplane pain: The two most likely causes are 1-existing nerve inflammation or necrosis of one or more teeth exacerbated by the rapid change in air pressure or... 2- you have been clenching your teeth during the flight and especially on landing. See your dentist for an evaluation of both.
