Can stress cause tooth pain?
Grinding my teeth a lot in my sleep due to work stress, now my jaw aches and I have this dull tooth pain. My dentist says there are no cavities, just wear and tear. Could this really be all stress related?

Honestly, yes it absolutely can! When you are tense, you might be grinding your teeth at night without even realizing it. Try to relax and don't stress too much, standard stress-busting things really help here.
Look, people online will tell you to put clove oil or do yoga, but tooth pain can be due to deep cavities or infections. Stress might make you notice the pain more, but go see a dentist first. Let them take an X-ray instead of guessing on Google.
I used to get severe jaw stiffness during end-of-quarter deliveries. Turns out it was stress-induced clenching. If you don't have time for long therapy, just try basic jaw stretches during office breaks, but do get a nightguard if it persists.
Mere saath bhi same problem chal rahi thi during my exams last semester. My dentist told me that stress makes our body more sensitive to pain and we clench our teeth. Keeping a small reminder to relax my shoulders and jaw throughout the day really helped.
Faltu ka dimaag mat ghumao, half the time we chew our nails or grind our teeth when we are tense. Go to a dentist and check if there is an actual cavity. If everything is clear inside, then focus on calming your mind.
