sometimes my back teeth hurt so much that I cry, it happens a lot when I eat sugary stuff but not all the time. I don't have a cavity because I was just at the dentist. They put some gel stuff on it but didn't help. It may be a exposed nerve, I tend to have receeding gums and some gingivitis. Help anyone?

I used to have similar problems when i was young . It all stopped when i started flossing my teeth EVERY night.This will help your gingivitis and bad breath that comes along with it.

I totally agree with Elizabeth, but may I also add that if in fact you do have an exposed nerve, that you'll need a root canal. I'm surprised they missed an exposed nerve or any severe pain when you went to the dentist last. Get it checked out before it gets painful or more expensive. If you're going to do it anyway, why not forgo the pain endurance and get it out of the way sooner.
Good luck to you. I can feel my back teeth hurting just thinking of yours hurting. There are few pains worse than a toothache because it kind of takes over everything. Until you see a doctor try placing a couple of cloves, one on either side of your back teeth. It's known to calm dental nerves.
Hope you feel better soon.

If you have never had teeth pulled, it is probably a wisdom tooth. Most people end up getting those pulled in their teens. Most people do not have room in their mouths for their wisdom teeth, so all they do is cause problems. The removal of wisdom teeth is oral surgery, not dentistry. Most places that do wisdom teeth removal offer full IV sedation - so you're completely out and do not remember a thing. I would look up an oral surgeon and make an appointment. Recovery time for wisdom teeth removal can be an adventure. Pay attention to the instructions given, or have someone else there with you if you're opting for full sedation. Follow the instructions religiously if you want to avoid an infection, and you want to heal quickly. I have a phobia of dentists, so I let my wisdom teeth go until one actually broke. Then I had them all removed.

Stop eating the sugary stuff. Brush after each meal or at least rinse your mouth with water after every meal. If you have an exposed nerve, you need a root canal. Root canal pain is unbelievable. If you have gum problems, the last thing you need is sugary stuff all over your teeth. Unless you want to spend years in pain at the dentist's office, I suggest you start taking care of your teeth starting right now.

About 2 weeks after I had my tonsils taken out it felt like someone beat me with a brick, I thought it was an infection and cavities, but it turned out that i have TMJ,http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/topics/tmj.cfm
It didn't hurt all the time. Do you chew a lot of gum?
I was just throwing that out there, ask your dentist about it

You might be grinding your teeth at night. Your dentist can confirm. This is worth going back to the dentist to have him or her look. It could be something serious and dental issues are always less painfully resolved if resolved earlier rather than later.

So you have gingivitis, so you MUST floss. Hopefully your gums will re-stick themselves to your teeth.
In the meantime, part of the ROOTS of your teeth are being exposed when they're not supposed to be. Don't eat sugary stuff and hope that the whole mouth will heal.

Hard to say why. I can tell you that a dentist is the only one who can give you an answer.
