A member asked:
All of my teeth are aching after i just had the flu, is that normal?

Possible: Sometimes the flu can affect the sinuses in the upper jaw causing sensitivity to the teeth. Hope your flu goes away quickly and if there are persistent pain in the teeth then see a dentist for an evaluation.

Yes: Especially the upper molars can become painful after the flu or upper respiratory tract infection as the sinus swells and presses on the nerve endings of the teeth. The tooth pain will go away when the sinus inflammation reduces.
