Will my teeth stop hurting soon if i just started using mouthguards?

Maybe...: It depends upon the nature and cause of the tooth pain. If your teeth are sensitive / painful due to clenching and grinding of your teeth, then typically use of a well designed / well fitting mouth guard (not store bought) will help. If the pain is due to decay, exposed root surface (dentin), or tooth cracks / fracture, then you will need to see your dentist for a complete evaluation.
