HERE IS ONE OPINION
"I thought I was the only runner with a sore mouth. For a day or two after an ultra, the roof of my mouth hurts whenever I eat. "
This used to be a problem for me after most very long runs or ultras. It is primarily caused by inhaling/exhaling a large volume of air over the hours, resulting in dehydration of the mouth. My dentist also noted that the same thing can happen to the teeth, making them more sensitive to hot and cold for 24 hours or so. I really noticed sensitive teeth after running the Steamboat Marathon when the air temperature was in the 70s while the dew point was only 16F - very dry air.
What has worked for me to eliminate the sore mouth is to carry fluids in a bottle and drink a small amount every 8-10 minutes. I think it also helps that the sports drink I use has a small amount of fat in it (MCT) and that puts a thin layer of fat on the tissues, slowing evaporation from them. I've had no instances of "sore mouth" since using that type of drink.

The next time you run, pay attention to what you are doing with your jaws. Try to relax your facial muscles. If you are clenching your back teeth too much as you run, you will get a pain in your back teeth.

I worked as a dental nurse for 5 yrs and have came across this problem myself. Have you had a cold recently? Usually this problem occurs when your sinuses are blocked and when you walk or run your teeth feel as if they are going to fall out! This is because of the pressure, go to your dentist to get them checked to be on the safe side incase there are any underlying problems but usually blocked sinus' are to blame.

Your teeth could be a little sensitive . You are probably getting the cold wind in your face and it causing them to ache try protect your face with either a scarf or hat .

try breathing through your nose, it's probably because have sensitive teeth and that breathing in cold air aggravates it more....try putting a scarf round your face when out running, help minimise the exposure to cold air

Maybe your teeth are sensitive and the wind agitates them and makes them hurt. Try using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth.

Sounds like neuralgia, probably caused by the cold. Nothing to do with the actual teeth but the facial nerves.

Could it be your teeth are sensetive to the cold air you are breathing in as you run?
