Montos,
It sounds to me like you may be grinding or clenching your teeth. Either of those things would cause your teeth to ache. Could you be doing that?
By any chance are those upper teeth root canaled?

Does it ever happen where a person's nerves just get irritated and take a long time to settle down? What about atypical odontalgia?
It went from a minor annoyance to bad pain that doesn't respond to ibuprofen or dexamethasone.
My doctor wants me to try a tricyclic antidepressant for the pain since they are useful for nerve pain.
Have you ever heard of this and if so, can it get better?
