    also, severe allergies and sinus infections can cause mouth breathing which dries out the mouth and makes you more prone to cavities. ive had this issue my whole life despite taking really good care of my teeth😢

    That form of nasal obstruction leading to mouth breathing is often responsive to nasal steroid sprays and allergy pills when used regularly. When those fail, nasal airway surgery such as septoplasty and turbinoplasty can reestablish good nasal airflow. Might be time for an ENT evaluation if you’ve had that going on for years!

    Any problems with your teeth can cause you to clench, grind your teeth at night, and otherwise chew differently in a way that overworks the chewing muscles. Stress can similarly cause this overworking of the chewing muscles. As the muscles get inflamed, they spasm and ache, and the pterygoid muscles transmit some of this pain deep behind the mandible where it is felt as ear pressure/pain and difficulty clearing the ear pressure due to eustachian tube dysfunction. Addressing the dental disease, warm compresses/heat to relax the chewing muscles, NSAIDs (such as Advil, if safe to use) to relieve pain/inflammation, and having a dentist fit a mouthguard to prevent grinding teeth at night can all help relieve these symptoms. If the hearing is dull, have it checked for fluid/ear infection as well.
