I know I have seen quite a few questions about flying with cracked teeth, painful teeth, infections, etc. I had read multiple articles about flying with cracked teeth and how it can cause intense pain, but my endodontist and dentist said it was very unlikely and rare to have extreme pain.
So I went on vacation this past week, and had four flights, with a total of around 10 hours in the air. I have a host of dental issues, including cracked molars, a chronic infection in my front tooth, a dental implant, an extraction and bone grafting done less than 2 months ago, and a jaw and two teeth that were aching at the time of the flight.
I had zero issues. My teeth never hurt any more taking off, in the air, or landing than they did before the flights. For the first flight (2 hours), I popped some tylenol just in case, but for the rest, I didn't take anything.
I also had a motor scooter accident while on vacation, and hit my jaw, and side of my face on a concrete wall (thankfully had a helmet!), resulting in a lot of bruising and sore jaw (in the one that was already sore), and still had no issues flying home four days later.
So for those of you wondering, it is very unlikely to have a lot more pain when flying with dental issues.
