Tooth loss and mouth symptoms - uvulitis?!?

Hi, my second lower molar fell down, remaining only the root of the tooth. I immediately felt a sensation on the uvula, like something was stuck in there, or a gag reflex felling. But I notice that the tooth was on my tongue, Im not sure if I recover every piece of it, plus the composite.

This was a tooth very short and had a root canal done, 10 years ago. This feeling in the uvula never went away, but it was mild. It was like a gag sensation. It feels like the uvula is longer and it is touching my tongue.

After this I replaced the missing tooth with composite, but this sensation was still here.

After 3 weeks, I started looking for answers. I went to the doctor to know if it was a DST, or a bacterial infection if some sort. He gave me antibiotics, which I took, but never got better.

After this, it sometimes I felt like I was eating my uvula. I ask? Could this lowering of the uvula have to do with the neck muscles adjusting and compressing the nerves of the uvula? I also feel a change in taste and like the roof top of my mouth is made of cork.

Is it normal to feel your úvula? Could some small piece of the tooth be still stacked, after a month? Unfortunately I spend hours watching úvula videos, where people complain about the same thing.

After this i start having this dry mouth cough, and now I am having difficulty to swallow. I have this globus sensation, they is making me crazy. I cannot Bend my head forward, and sleep with my head lied down. I also developed a change in taste.

Summing it up, I went from a mild sensation in my úvula to much worse, after I started looking for answers, and going to doctors to find answers at a physical level.

I have an history of TMS manifestations, which I overcome in the past, with all kind of symptoms. I literally fell weird sensation all over my body in the past, including a similar one to this, but related to heart palpitations.

I'm quite sure this is TMS, but the problem is that it all started with a clear cause, my tooth loss. I now that the cranial nerves are all connected. The trigeminal nerve enervates the teeth and the uvula.

Also, loosing my teeth is creating a lot of emotional stress for me. I'm scared because I don't have the means to put implants. One strange, thing is that I felt the same sensation, when I was trying to stop crying in front of my kid.

I'm eager to hear what you think.

Thanks a lot for your help.

 

Well, since nobody reply, can at least someone comment on my theory? Im always doing an weightlifting exercise, at home, that puts a lot of force/sress in the neck. Also, I have increased it in the last month. When the tooth felt I was clining it, and I always clean my theets bending forward. Also, I did the same workout exercice minutes early. Could this exercise compressed the nerves that goes to the throat And control swollowing, minutes later? Because after the tooth fell down I bend it backwards, and maybe what I felt was the compression of the nerve that controls de uvula. Maybe it was a coincidence, and both TMS, and the continuation of the exercice was just exarcerbating everything. Thanks

Oh my god, I remember vividly now. I already felt this. I was then diagnosed with a thyroiditis. I had the same sensation in my throat. I've been through a lot of stress lately....

 

Thanks for replying. The medical professional says I have nothing, but I still feel the lump on the back of my throat (I still haven't done any blood test, namely to my thyroid). They only say it's impossible that my tooth falling down is related with my symptoms, or that the tooth restoration is in my throat, or that causes nerve damage or desalinment on my moth, etc.

I remembered I felt this sensation before, when I had a thyroid dysfunction. I felt it for a long time. The problem here is the coincidence, of the falling of my tooth and the start of the symptoms. I also felt this sensation before when I eat certain foods, like some sort of allergy.

My question is, is thyroid dysfunction stress related? I also believe Dr Sarno says allergies are TMS equivalents.

My only concern here is nerve damage from a tooth falling, or maybe it releases some allergens toxic elements that were under the tooth restoration, and we're drained to my mouth. Could this be possible? Do allergies manifest that fast in the body? Either the uvula is swollen , or the tongue enlarged. I remembered also the burning mouth syndrome.

What I want you guys to help me with, is to figure it out if the toot falling out, and the onset of my symptoms was just a coincidence, based on what I told you. I'm a very stressful guy, when I eat fish I always feel a spine on my throat. I'm deeply afraid that it hsappens. On the other hand, the loss of tooth also provoque me a feeling of sadness, that reflected on my thyroid. My quest to figure out what was wrong with me lead me to the enlarged thyroid, Bad once I realised that my choking sensation is far better, because I reduce stress, thus, the thyroid inflammation.

Now there is only the mild sensation, that increases with stress, but it is still uncomfortable

Thanks

 

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately this sensation is still here.

Let me do an update: I felt this persistent sensation, like my tongue/úvula is swollen, immediately after the restauration of my tooth fell down. The root of the tooth was completely exposed. I mean, if I am allergic to such products used in root canal treatments they were released from my broken tooth, to my mouth with direct contact (I guess they were solid now). It is the same sensation as when I eat something after its not good for consumption anymore. I had the same sensation, after I have eaten some cookies that were out of date for one year. I had this three or 4 times in my life. I remember this sensation. A kind of anaphilatic shock. They stoped because I stop eating those out of date food. I felt the same when the tooth fell down. Now it is persistent, because the root of the tooth is still in mouth.. And it increases with fear and stress, for sure. I felt the sensation more at night.

How do you overcome allergies in a TMS way? What is the theory behind it? Will it pass? Do I have to remove the root of the tooth? I had several tooth with root canals. If you control your stress in a TMS approach, can you control your allergies? Is it an auto imune response? Maybe I find felt when they first do the root canal due to the local anesthesia. There are some cases of hypersensitivity to the stuff they used to fill out the root canals if one tooth.

Am I perpetuating all this with TMSs? I mean my tooth root is already covered with a new restauration, it should stop the contact.

Can I shoke if the allergen continues to be in my mouth? Should I remove the tooth? It is really difficult to test if Im allergic, I don't know which doctor to go, or which blood test to do. I'm scared. Please help. I long lost my faith in the medical system, in the hands of big pharma, cares about disease and it's profits.

 

I don't have nowhere to go. Thanks

Let me clear this out: the medical exams only said I don't have nothing stuck on my throat. I now believe it to be true.

I just wanted to ear your thoughts. This is an allergy and an thyroid issue, that started when my tooth fell off. I still haven't done the blood test yet but I'm quite sure they will reveal that, thyroid my levels not normal. The problem is, then what? We all know modern medicine don't address the rout cause of any disease. They only care about making profit. So, I have to figure it out for my self.

I just want to know what should I do adess it using a TMS approach, the only approach that cure stuff. I never cared about allergies, because they were temporary, so I didn't study them at the light of TMS, the same goes with thyroid hashimoto. Are allergies related with thyroid?

Usually theses symptoms goes away without any one knows why. It happened with me when I have my thyroiditis, and when some minutes after I have eaten those cookies, and have that allergic reaction. But I cannot just extract my tooth, or more. This time I have to be sure.

Anyway thanks

 

Since you don’t seem to believe medical professionals, yet you want to believe in something, then believe in yourself. Truly that is how you overcome TMS, the belief that there is nothing wrong and that you can do the work to overcome your obsession and worry. We can’t help you with any of your physical worries.
We can help you with TMS and her is the free TMS program this website offers, that starts with reading any book by Dr. John Sarno which you need to do to truly understand what is going on, so pay attention to day 0.

Next is to do the work: https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Structured_Educational_Program

 

Thanks. I'm convinced 95% of all diseases have a Mindbody connection, are psychosdomatic. I had burning pain all over my body, and it was all TMS, and I overcome it. I'm now quite sure there is nothing stuck in my throat, and I have a thyroid dysfunction, that for a strange coincidence started when my tooth fell down. I can feel my thyroid enlarging with my continuous search. I will have to stop searching. Ive been having a lot of stress, the fear of loosing my teeth had been consuming me for the last two years, and also the fear if having root canal done in several teeths.

Anyway, something is not right with the muscle that controls my uvula. I wake up in the middle of the night having difficulty to swallow, or like I'm swollowing my tongue.

I used to use tmshelp forum, with Steve o, tênis tom, etc. I think people there were different. They had more patience to just talk.

Thanks

 

We expect that folks who have overcome symptoms in the past know that focusing on “what is not right” is the obsessional side of TMS. Perhaps in the past people have entertained that with you, but here we have confidence in you, and know you already know what you need to do and to stop playing head games with yourself (and with us) about physical symptoms when we (and you) know what TMS really is: obsession (OCD), anxiety, repressed emotions (rage, anger).
We’re here to talk about how you manage to turn your mind away from the physical and focus on your emotional world, inner conflicting beliefs, anxiety etc - TMS. We believe in you vs. entertaining the mechanisms that feed into TMS and are not doctors or professionals who can assist you with actual physical “stuff”. We aren’t being impatient, we are truthful. If you want to contact Steve O, he has a website you can reach him through. I believe Tennis Tom runs a pain clinic in Colorado and you could easily find him too.
Good luck!

 

What I mean was that tmshelp forum was much more participative. People there use to express their opinions.

For instances nobody here told me if it was playable that a piece of tooth could be stuck in the faringe for one month. I'm in panick, it is difficult for me to judge right after one month if this strange throat sensation. No body expressed that the thyroid when inflamed could simulate a feeling of something stuck in the throat, despite their are people here that has it. In fact there were someone that took us time to say I did a lot of spelling errors. Well I'm not English.

Anyway, and since I still have this sensation in my mouth, and have a history of TMS equivalents, I would love to ear your comments about what is plausible and what is not.

Three simple questions:

- is it plausible that such a vety small piece of tooth be stuck in the faringe for one month? Maybe the size of a grain of large salt.

- Second- do the people that have problems with their thyroid, in this forum, feel a kind of lump in the back of their throats, that slows its ability to swallow? Because it compresses the neck nerves of the throat muscles.

- Lastely: I know that root canal are a controversial topic. I felt the pain/allergy in my throat/uvula immediately after my tooth was exposed. I recover my thoot/restauration completely, I guess. I read this on the net:"broken tooth after a root canal can release toxic bacteria, potentially causing infection or systemic health issues, and some people may have an allergic reaction to the materials used. A fractured tooth can allow bacteria to enter, while the long-term presence of bacteria within the root canal system itself can release toxins. These infections can cause local inflammation or potentially trigger immune responses, and allergies can arise from filling materials or medications. " even if this is an allergy, are allergies TMS? Why? Can I overcome chemical allergies using a TMS approach? I had a similar reaction three times, after I have eaten out of date food. Úvula swollen etc. I was intoxicated

Again, thanks, I just want to ear your opinions. I'm too much involved in this.

 

Hi again. I hope you guys are ok.

Just to let you know that both my blood tests, and my thyroid ecography are alright, don't have any thyroid issues, nor nodules. When I knew about those exams I felt a relief. For some moments I felt cured, but then this odd sensation, of having something stuck on my throat returned.

I also bought an oximeter, and realized that my oxygen levels are ok. However I'm still having this sensation. I know that it increases with stress. I just wonder if there could be that my tooth, or the rest of it, that falled down stuck on my throat?

That is scaring me a lot and making me having so much doubts. After more than one month, is it plausible that a small piece of my tooth be still logged inside my throat?

Should I take an anxiety pill to see if the lump disappear?

Yesterday I noticed that the muscle bellow my jawline is really stiff, just bellow the chin, and when I touch it I feel the same sensation on my úvula. Could this be all caused by neck muscle tension? Tmj? Felling this odd sensation put me immediately in a state of fight of flight mode. When I was doing the ecography, I was do afraid that I had cancer, that it was really painfull.

Can an x-ray detect if you have parts of A tooth stuck on your throat?

Thanks a lot, and I really hope you reply. I don't have people to talk about this, besides this forum. Thanks

Sorry, o just came from the doctor. I have a titoiditis after all. It's the ashimoto autoimmune. Could this be a TMS equivalent?
