Members confirmed that sore gums and aching teeth are common fibromyalgia symptoms, with several sharing that their dental pain improved when fibro symptoms subsided and returned when flares worsened. A reflexologist in the group offered a practical self-care tip, suggesting rubbing side to side under the thumbnails to calm the trigeminal nerve and relieve tooth pain, which at least one member reported trying with immediate success. Many members also mentioned coping strategies like warm salt water rinses and Listerine to manage pain severe enough to make brushing difficult.
