Hi everyone
Hope you're have a better June than I am.
My apologies for yet another inactive month both on art and responding to notifications here and elsewhere.
I've been in and out of clinics these past few weeks trying to deal with my aching teeth.
So apparently I have multiple tooth abrasions on the left side of my jaw, as well as receded gums aforementioned affected teeth. To top it off, my jaw has since been acting up for two weeks now making it very difficult to eat. The dentist aren't sure what it is, but assume it might be an impacted molar, which I don't want to get remove since it's still healthy. So we're all just guessing at this point.
But it's been a messy & stressful month. A lot of back and forth dealing with my new fillings, adjusting - readjusting... A lot of guessing, frustrations and poorly managed situations. I'm currently going back to find dentist. Wish me luck that it's a kind, patient and competent one who can fix my problem once and for all.
Because I've been in a lot of pain these past 3 weeks now. And just haven't been able to concentrate on work and play as much. So I hope you all can forgive the lack of communication and activity, especially from my clients right now.
It's made things slower for me and I hope those currently waiting on their commission and those waiting for a slot will understand. I thought you should know. And I apologize for the inconvenience.
I'm doing my best to get these projects done, and I will keep you all posted.
For now, thanks for reading.
I hope you have a fine rest of the month.
Take care

Long story short: the human body is heavily interconnected, so look everywhere for a plausible cause, not only at the exact spot that is acting up.
Gods blessings, Sam.
My thought for this on now is that because I've been chewing on one side, it may be causing the other side to go out of line.
But thank you for the best wishes.
One possible solution may be you are grinding/clenching your teeth in your sleep. While a very good dental guard helps, they can be expensive. A cheaper, short term solution is to get one of the football MMA/Boxing mouthguards. They are $10 here on Amazon, which is much better than $600 for something from the dentist. As long as you can comfortably keep it in your mouth overnight, a sports guard could help. It will at least provide partial cushioning to your teeth.
Oh, and I can confirm that 'migrating issue' someone else spoke of. My left ear alternatively itches/buzzes with tinitis, and sometimes it's fine but my teeth hurt instead. I believe I've got something wrong in the area, and a mild synesthesia is making it transform into different irritants.
Mostly though, try a sports guard.
TBH I missed talking with you too. You're still really cool in my book. ;)
