The dissimilar metals don't have to "touch" to generate a current. The closer they are together, the more current they will generate though.
I know of no nerves that go from teeth to the area mentioned, but, if the brain is getting a pain signal, it can send it anywhere it wants and that's where you'll feel it. The brain 'interprets' the position any way it wants to. I have often smashed my thumb with a hammer and had a finger next to it, or even the other elbow, do all the hurting. Weird, but entirely possible because the body doesn't feel pain, the brain does, and anything the brain does is subject to interpretation through whatever program it's running. Pain is literally and without question, always... "all in your head". Usually, the pain does have a cause and the signals are interpreted accurately, but not always. How many times have you discovered a cut somewhere and not known how it got there? [Me? a LOT] All of a sudden, something starts hurting, but it had been scabbed over for many hours. I have bone spurs in my heels. [heals?] One day a friend suggested that I could use that for an excuse to not go somewhere I really didn't want to go, but felt obligated to. I was on crutches for a week after that little conversation...AFTER I went to the unwanted event...dang it! What does that mean? A] The bone spurs are on x rays and are 'proven' real. B] They can act up at a mere suggestion or not act up even under good reason. C] Either way it hurts like Hell. D] Like it or not, I CAN do anything I DON'T want to for NO good reason, at all. The brain can even "invent" pain signals out of nothing but the thought, "This dental stuff is a pain in the neck"...and PUT the feeling in the neck. It doesn't have to be a "conscious" thought for that to happen and the pain is a real pain. The pain will be real. The thought is a real thought, but the connections made between cause and effect aren't real and it doesn't matter. The effect is the same. One of the treatments for phantom limb pain in a missing hand is to hold the existing hand next to a mirror so it looks like both of them are there. The eyes deliver an "all is well" signal to the brain which reprograms the OUCH interpretation felt 'as if' it were in a hand that's not there. Even though you may find that fixing the tooth stops the pain, that doesn't mean the cause and effect was real, you just stopped the thought by removing an excuse/reason/verification loop source in the chain. Regardless of what's real or rational or not, what works, works...and you want something that works. Don't worry about whether or not what you feel is rational. Rationality is not the 'norm' anyhow. If we were "rational" critters, we could just turn pain on and off like a switch. [We actually can, but pain carries so much weight of validation that we generally don't] Dropping a brick on your toe really CAN put an end to a headache. A hypnotist might do just as well as a dentist. ...maybe even thinking about how dropping a brick on your toe might feel will work...like, drop one next to your toe and imagine a hit several times? Hop around on one leg holding your foot and cuss real loud, as though, it actually happened. Sure, that's ridiculous!!! It might make you laugh uncontrollably to behave so foolishly.... then suddenly notice that you forgot all about the neck pain...and your toe just might throb a bit. [But you KNOW that's NOT real and can easily dismiss it] If that works, then you can just carry a brick in your purse, heft it a few times and think about dropping it on your toe whenever your neck starts hurting. It's a thought that carries some weight. ;-) [Handy item on muggers too] Explain that one to the cops!! LOL I carry this brick around to scare my toe because I have a pain in the neck. If THAT works, trade the real brick in for a photo of a brick. [But that only works on photos of muggers.] ...so, what does that say about neck pain? Real pain is the exact same thing as imagined pain. "Pain" is a 'meaning' subject to interpretation. The pain itself carries no judgements about rational OR irrational cause and effect chains. If the brick trick doesn't work, I suppose it can be used to knock out a tooth? Carry it into the dentists office. [Drop it on HIS toe??] Maybe request a post paid envelope for the bill. Wrap the bill and payment around the brick and mail it to the dentist...with postage due. I suppose that instead of 'having' a pain in the neck, 'being' one will do just as well. OK, time to change channels. My heal is starting to hurt a little.
