[|Human|] Last year I chipped my front tooth because I fell on it and I got a filling. Recently I had a checkup at the dentist and she said my teeth were fine, but she said that I grind my teeth when I sleep. Now I feel a tingling sensation in my gums and I sometimes hear a clicking sound. My teeth arent loose, but Im worried.
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. Tingling sensation of gums and clicking sound appears to be due to problem with the jaw joint and not probably any tooth or gum related problem. Tingling sensation in gums can also be due to infection in gums and at times nerve related problems and anxiety can also cause such symptoms. So my suggestion to you is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a Panoramic x-ray should be done that will help in evaluation of your teeth as well as the jaw joints so that all the aspects can be checked. Once the cause can be confirmed then treatment can be done accordingly. For now, you can take a soft diet and a combination of muscle relaxant and painkillers and check if it improves. For now avoid opening the mouth too wide while yawning, laughing etc. Avoid eating very hard foods. Hope this helps. Regards.
