tooth problem?

Question:

I don't have a molar. When I am stressed or tired I feel a discomfort / slight pain in the region where the tooth supposed to be. If I cover it with my tongue or with gum the discomfort goes. Why?

Answers:
It is a phantom pain, like when one has a leg removed but gets sensations that it is still there. It isn't as common with extracted teeth though.
I would definitely see a dentist to get it replaced, missing a tooth can mess up your bite and cause jaw problems.

Other Answers:
who knows? go to the dentist!

There's a new invention - it's called a dentist. if you had pulled it out it might be that its just growing. but i do advise to go see a dentist.

go to the dentist ,no pain no gain

you could have swelling in your jaw muscle,or problems from your ear.
Since you get it when your stresed you may be unknowingly clenching your jaw and when you cover it you are relieving that presure.
I would still get it checked out if it swelles or turns red from a dentist.

dental phantom pain- i believe anything is possible.
