Why do we get tooth sensitivity when we hear some sounds?

Question

We sometimes get tooth sensitivity when we hear the sound produced by pulling a metal sheet against rough surface

Answer 1

Researchers have shown that there are some high-threshold nociceptors among these intertwined nerve endings in the skin; i.e., receptors that respond almost exclusively to tissue-damaging stimuli. Many of the rest, however, are "polymodal" receptors and nerves that signal other haptic modalities by combined (cross line) *patterns* of responses in many adjacent receptors and their connecting neural pathways. That is presumably why you can get funny effects like goosebumps or sensitivity in the teeth

Answer 2

Well Gilligan was able to pick up radio signals with the help of the Professor because of his metal fillings. Seriously though, I have wondered about this and recall hearing it has something to do with fillings rattling due to the shock of certain sound waves but I really don't know if that's true.

Answer 3

it is a psychological effect produced in the brain while hearing unexpected sudden rough sound. no direct connection with tooth. since i am a dentist u can believe this
