My teeth hurt when i run i just went to the dental hygienist to to get my teeth cleaned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Teeth: When the dental hygienist cleans your teeth that can irritate the gums, and your nerves. I would anticipate that this pain should settle down in a few days. I would notify your dentist if it does not.
