I had my teeth cleaned on Tuesday. The hygienist picked at my gums where my wisdom teeth used to be enough that they were swollen a couple days. Thursday night I couldn't sleep from having a sore gum area. I went home from work early when I started feeling my back tighten and have sciatic nerve jolts. Regardless, all day, my mouth head hurt whenever I laid down.
Same occurred Friday night, but my whole jaw and cheek were sore.
It occurred to me that the pain was such that I couldn't wear my retainer, so I figured the mouth guard I bought would be a good alternative to see if I'm grinding my teeth. The dentist suggested a mouth guard the prior visit but the pain was never relevant enough to use it. Seemed a hassle to mold it to my teeth. Less pain last and mostly pain free today. I don't think I have an infection, but I was in more pain than I had following anything dental, including my wisdom teeth and the broken tooth being pulled.
The older I get, the more I dislike dealing with anyone in dentistry.
