Why do my teeth hurt when I run?

r/

I’ve noticed this recently and I’m wondering if it’s just because I’m overweight or there’s another possible explanation.

    Are you clenching your teeth – jaw when running?

    If you have a sinus infection it may cause that.

    Not a doctor but have had odd pain in teeth and cheeks with infection.

    Have you tried running on your feet?

    Ask your dentist, not Reddit.

    Not a doctor, but if you have any sort of sinus issue, that can cause tooth pain. Running and physical exercise can put additional pressure on your sinuses, so that’s probably why.
