i find my self clentching my jaw and pushing my tongue into my bottom teeth whats next step

Q. I have had a problem with my 2 front bottom teeth for just over a year. It comes on worse a times of stress, I find myself clentching my jaw and pushing my tongue into my bottom teeth on a regular basis, even weight training brings on pain. It hurts so bad i can feel the nerve pulse. My dentist has refused to give me a root canal filling or even take the teeth out even though I think both would help. What is my next step I am at my wits end with this as the pain is too much??

A. It maybe that you need a bite guard to stop grinding up against them unless there is a definite problem with the roots, in which case a root canal or extraction might be best. Maybe you could ask for a second opinion from another dentist??
