Why do I get these pinpricks of pain across my shoulders and chest while brushing my teeth?

this has been happening for years and i never know what its from, the pain only last for a few seconds, but it feels like a needle is like stabbing into me. :/ anyone know?

Answer #1

The only thing that comes to mind when I read your question is cold chills. However, cold chills shouldn’t hurt.

So, to be honest… I have no idea what it could be. Perhaps you should ask your physician.

Answer #2

Just a guess but do u have sensitive teeth? It may b that, ur hitting a nerve in ur teeth when ur brushin and it travels, again just a guess

Answer #3

I don’t think the nerves from your teeth go all the way to your shoulders… but I’m not sure.

Answer #4

no i dont have sensitive teeth,

Answer #5

Maybe u shud ask ur dentist or doc about it

Answer #6

mabe its how you hold your toothbrush. Do you slump your shoulders or buff your chest when you brush?

Answer #7
