This is a weird question, but I have googled and found nothing, my dentist has no idea, and my endodontist said she had never heard of this before.
I have one thing in common with each tooth that has had the nerve get irreversible pulpitis. At some point, usually at night when I am just getting settled, there is a fizzy feeling around the tooth. It is almost painful, not tingly, but like pop rocks candy (if you have ever had that). It feels like bubbles are coming up out of the gums around the tooth. In fact, if I put my tongue on the gums around the tooth, I can kind of feel popping, like carbon dioxide in a fizzy beverage.
The first time was with my upper left 2nd molar. It was after I had the temp crown put on, and the endodontist said it was probably saliva that got trapped under the crown and came out when I laid down. It felt way too fizzy to be that, but I went with it. It happened twice. The second time was with my lower 2nd molar on the opposite side. It did not have a crown, and it only happened one time, for about 5 minutes. The tooth had been aching, but had previously tested normal with endo ice (after a small filling). After the fizzy episode, it had lingering pain with endo ice the next week.
With my newly crown prepped tooth (that had a good nerve before the crown prep) it happened one time, a week ago. It had lingering pain with endo ice on Thursday, and will now be extracted Monday.
Any dentists heard of this before? It seems to be a common link with nerve issues for me. I know I am somewhat of an anomoly is the dental world, but surely there has to be some link, right? It only happens around/under the affected tooth.
