What Causes Pressure In Teeth?

I always feel pressure in my teeth, like they are being pushed together. My teeth are so close together it is difficult to floss because the floss breaks while trying to force it between my teeth. This pressure has led to me clenching my jaw to release the pressure, which has caused my back teeth to break. Recently a tooth near the front broke on the side where it was pushed against another tooth, and now it feels sore, like it's loose. I'm a full time student & I don't work, I don't have insurance & every dentist I've talked to requires me to pay astronomical amounts of money upfront. I don't qualify for state assistance because I'm a student. Any advice for me? Seeing a dentist is pretty much out of the question with no income.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pressure feeling in the teeth can be because of the gum infection secondary to crowded teeth where the oral hygiene maintainence is difficult. Nothing to be panic, you can consult a government dental hospital or educational institute, where the treatment will be done free of cost. You need to get the teeth cleaned and you have to get the teeth aligned properly with the help of braces or orthodontic treatment.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

It may be due to root resorption of the neighboring tooth. The inflammation of the periodontal tissue caused by the dental plaqie, together with the pressure pf the wisdom tooth pushing on the adjacent tooth in front , may cause the root resorption of the adjacent tooth and results in to feels like pressure in the tooth.
