Question:

Could Earth's magnetic field be doing something to the fillings in my teeth because they hurt like crazy?

I just had my teeth checked a week ago so i can't figure out any other reason for the pain.

  1. Not to the extent that you'd feel anything...no, it's not the magnetic field.  Go to another dentist and get a second opinion if it doesn't go away.  Don't blame cosmic forces.  


  2. NO  U need a new Dentist.

  3. I assume your fillings must be amalgam. Have them removed and replaced with resin fillings. They are better in the long run. No mercury in resin fillings.  

  4. I wouldn't assign your hypothesis a very high level of probability.  But it can be tested!!!   Just leave earth for a couple of months and see if your teeth feel better.  

  5. no...yarrrr.....der is no effect of such magnetic field on your teeth.....

  6. Keep on looking for the cause.  The Earth is not the reason.  

  7. No.

    The flux from Earth's magnetic field, at the surface, is way too low to induce anything in something so small as a tooth.  You'd need larger distances (or more tooth-filling area) for the induction to be anywhere close to the threshold of detection.

    If there is even a single 50,000 watt radio station (or any TV transmitter) within 200 km, the electric field would overwhelm any effect that the Earth's magnetic field could ever hope to have on your teeth.

    (and yes, it has been proven that radio or TV transmissions can affect dental work)

    However, if what you feel is pain, then I would suspect physics (filling pushing against a nerve ending) or chemistry (some reaction sending the wrong signal into the pain receptors of the nerve endings).
