Talk:tandpijn

@Rua, DrJos, Morgengave, Mnemosientje I don't think I have ever come across this word, certainly not in spoken language. Could this be a BE/NL or a north/south split? ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 12:49, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Really? It seems like a normal word to me, I've certainly used it and heard it used. It's not a synonym for kiespijn to me, since the latter specifically refers to molars. —Rua (mew) 13:52, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

@Rua Yes, in my lect kiespijn is used for pain in any tooth, molar or not. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 14:02, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

It would confuse me for sure if you used it like that, referring to a front tooth or something. —Rua (mew) 14:49, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Well, I wouldn't say "kiespijn in een voortand", but I would call the general phenomenon kiespijn. Apparently this usage is very rare (dictionaries specify that kiespijn occurs in molars), and it seems tandpijn is considerably older (16th c.) than kiespijn (late 17th c.). ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 08:42, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Same as Rua here, sounds fine to me. Kiespijn is more common (apparently they hurt more often) but would sound weird when referring to incisors or canine teeth. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

It seems the definitions need an update to differentiate between molars and other teeth then. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 08:42, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
