Neck, jaw,and head pain after wisdom teeth extraction weeks ago?

I had my left side upper and lower wisdom teeth extracted about a month ago and ever since I have had som head, and jaw pain, and whole lot of neck pain since. The pain is mostly in the side of my neck where my gland is and is not severe but just annoying like a nerve or something. I went back to the dentist and he said he don't think anything is wrong so I went to the doctor and he said maybe a infection so I got a shot and 10 days of antibotics but still having neck pain and every once in a while head and jaw pain and sometimes rarley my jaw goes numb for a split second and I am starting to even have a slight shoulder pain.


All my aches and slight pains are on the same side as my extractions and the really feel like nerve pain.





Also ( don't laugh) I have started having a slight pain in my penis which feels just like my other pains and I am certain somehow they alll the little pains are connected , and no I am not kidding.





BTW I did finish up all ten days of antibotics.

Neck, jaw,and head pain after wisdom teeth extraction weeks ago?
Ask your dentist for a referral to a TMJ specialist. Been there done that. It does affect your shoulders, neck, jaw, head, and even chest. But I would think the penis pain would be something else.
Reply:Don't go see that dentist any more cuz wisdom teeth extraction is more serious than they make it seem.





Sometimes you really dont need it and they tell you that you do.





Its risky because theres a vital nerve that can play with your sense of touch. (which sounds like something happened with that)





Go see another MD for a second opinion and a lawyer cuz i think they messed up.

Pain above 2 front teeth,why?

My 2 front teeth have caps(or crowns) on them.I have pain above one tooth and it seems like their not lined up properly when i bite down.On my gums,it hurts when you press on it above my one tooth.Its hard to chew because it hurts when the top teeth come together with the bottom teeth.This started Christmas day.I have been to the dentist before this and there are no cavities.Any suggesstions?

Pain above 2 front teeth,why?
Are your two front teeth which are crowned previously root canal treated as well?? My guess is yes. If this is the case, it sounds like you may have an infection around one or both of the teeth and possibly may need root canal retreatment. Unfortunately root canals fail sometimes, if the nerve wasnt fully removed, or the file too deep and perforated your canal. Definately get to a dentist, you do not want to lease your front teeth and especially after spending all of the money for crowns. Good luck!
Reply:Something might be stuck under the cap or the cap came loose or shifted, which might be the case since you say it feels uneven. I'd make an appointment with the dentist to have it checked out. You might also try taking a Water Pik and irrigating around the gum line. If there's something stuck there, that might help get rid of it - like when a popcorn kernal gets caught in the back teeth. Good luck.

Jaw Pain and misaligned teeth?

Last night I got sudden pain in the right side of my jaw, almost like a muscle spasm, and since then my back teeth in that side feel as if they are misaligned and I feel as if I cannot close my bite/teeth properly - its as if my teeth are not where they are meant to be.





The pain is not continous, it comes and goes, and to be honest its not that sore, except when I try to eat.





It just feels really horrible not being able to close my teeth properly.





I do have a jaw that often clicks, but its not doing that at the moment.





Has anyone ever had this before? will it go away?

Jaw Pain and misaligned teeth?
I did this year. I looked in the mirror and found that my jaw was out of alignment. It turned out one side of my jaw got unhinged. I set the jaw back into the notch. it was painful. The next day I went to my doctors and he said my jaw got dislocated. He also said I did a good job resetting it back. I asked how does this happen I was just eating a tuna hoagie when somehow it came unhinged. He said your jaw can become dislocated because its held onto a tiny hinge or notch. My teeth were out of alignment too. Dislocation of a jaw will cause this. Go to the doctors to reset jaw. It may hurt but the hurt will be well worth it getting back to normal Your teeth will then be aligned.

Pain after wisdom teeth out?

I just had my wisdom teeth out on Friday December 7th. All four were impacted. I was put under through IV sedation. I did not feel anything, and was pretty numb the rest of the day after my surgery. But my question is...I didn't start feeling pain until the next night, so I took some pain killers. He gave me Ibuprofen and Vicodin. They've been killing the pain, but I'm had to take them every 4-5 hours. I mean the pain goes away when I take the pain killers and everything. Is this normal?

Pain after wisdom teeth out?
Yes, what you had is considered surgery. So you will have the same kind of problems as with any surgery. Make sure you use a good salt water rinse for about the next week and mouthwash at least twice a day for a month as the wound where the teeth were will need to be kept clean. Also, after I had that done I had bone chips surface for the next 10 years. but I am a smoker and that extended the healing time.
Reply:yes, totally normal!
Reply:yeah thats almost exactly what happened to me....the pain will dull in a week or two's time. just take the pain meds as prescribed and take it easy on solid food for a while.
Reply:Yeah its totally normal to be in alot of pain thats why they give you so many pain killers. Just try to eat cold things like ice cream and suck on some ice cubes.
Reply:its normal. but dont eat up all your painkillers too soon, like i did, you'll regret it. if you can deal with it, deal with it. you'renot going to be pain free, that's not the point of the painkillers, they're supposed to ease the pain.
Reply:It is to some extent normal. I had mine taken out last year. And I had ALOT of pain. But when I took pain killers it would sooth it for a couple of hours. Also, my friend got them taken out last year too: he threw up all the time. But it didn't swell up as much as mine had. It's different for everyone, but what it is the same is that all will feel some amount of pain. If its excruciating pain I suggest calling your Doctor.
Reply:Fever is not normal. Tell the doctor, you probably need antibiotics.





With wisdom teeth removal you have to be aware of "dry socket". It is a very common complication where the nerve gets exposed and it is painful. It is easily remedied once diagnosed. You should have a follow up with your doctor asap.
Reply:I went through the same thing. Unless your fever gets above 101, or you have to take pain meds more than every 4 hours, don't worry about it. Make sure you eat soft foods like apple sauce and mashed potatoes for the first few days to keep some soreness down.
Reply:Yes, thats normal.


If you really don't want to continue with pills, use freezies, popcicles, etc. Also, if the pain conitnues for more than a week, contact a dentist. It may sound funny, but gum %26amp; chew toys work well, too!
Reply:Yes, I think that's normal.





After i got mine pulled out, I was surprised at how well the medicine worked when I took it. It was the first time in my life i had ever taken pain killers and actually noticed a significant decrease in pain. Like what you said, they made me feel like 500000 times better when I took em. I did have a fever off and on for about a week too.
Reply:Oh bless you. I had 4 wisdom teeth taken out in August and had to take around 8 strong painkillers a day; although my dentist warned me that I am taking too much, I've just stopped using painkillers for some time afterwards (e.g. for headache) so as to not become completely immune to them. The pain will go away soon (however it's completely normal) and you'll never have trouble with wisdom teeth again as many people do!
Reply:I had the IV sedation for the impacted Wisdom teeth too. I was given tylenol 3's. They were pretty potent and helped, but I found that even after my prescription ran out I had to get more for the pain. The main thing that you don't want to do is get a dry socket. Hopefully you don't smoke as it delays the healing process. An elevated temp. is normal too for the first couple of days. here are some things you might want to check out for info on post op oral surgery.

Reply:Call your dentist and tell him what's happening. That's the safest thing you can do.





Every one is dfferent I had two impacted - one broke and had to be dug out of the socket - and no pain after the anesthetic wore off - didn't even take a tylenol! A friend of mine had two pulled easily and missed work for 4 days 'cause the pain was so severe!!
Reply:it is normal to have a lot of pain. Dont take all of your pain killers to soon and run out because then you will regret it later. Talk to your dentist and tell him you have had a fever so that he might suggest something for that since the ibuprofen is not helping that part
Reply:I think the pain is normal, I as well just had my wisdom teeth removed this past weekend (Dec 8th), I just went with the local freezing and an hour later i went home. I'm lucky to not have much swelling at all but it nices sometimes to ice my cheeks, my dentist told me to alternate every 2hrs with the pain killers, I got T3 with codin and ibprofein (600mg). But i have stopped taking them right now, my mouth/jaw is sore but it's also a new feeling too. I've been getting headaches too but it's bad enough yet for me to miss work, it's managible for now.





good luck with your healing, hope it doesn't last too long for us.

Pain after 2 teeth extracted?

I had 2 lower teeth extracted on Saturday afternoon, and I was given like 15 Ibuprofen 800mg tablets for pain. I had to double the dose %26amp; take 2 tablets every 4 hours instead of 1 tablet, to do any good at all. I now only have 1 tablet left. The dentist is closed today %26amp; won't open until tomorrow (Tuesday) until about 2:30pm. What can I do to help reduce the pain until the dentist open, as no over the counter pain medicine help %26amp; this is quite bad pain as it was a very difficult extraction? I have done salt-water rinses, however it does not reduce any pain I'm in other than for like 2 minutes, than it comes right back.

Pain after 2 teeth extracted?
If 1600mg of Ibuprofen helped somewhat then just get a bottle of Advil and take 8 pills at a time. It's not great for your stomach but the prescription 800mg Ibuprofen is exactly the same as taking 4 Advil. I asked my pharmacist and that's what they told me. I had the same situation with having to double up on the 800mg pills. Do that until you can get back to the dentist. It's possible you can ask for Tylenol-2 or 3 or even Vicodin for the pain if it's that bad.
Reply:Over the counter ibuprofen are 200 mg each. So if you take 8 of them it is the same as taking two 800 mg ibuprofen.(1600mg) Hard on the stomache. 4tabletsx200mg=(1) 800 mg tablet (if you smoke you could have dry socket-really bad pain)
Reply:Go to your local drug store and ask for oil of clove or simply clove oil. Soak some cotton with this stuff and place it where the extraction was done. It tastes terrible but I guarantee you you will feel no pain.





Before you ask. It is natural and safe. I used it on a wisdom tooth abscess and after I got them pulled. I took every narcotic prescribed and nothing helped like this oil. Hope this helps.
Reply:when a tooth is exrtracted, a blood clot forms in the void, if you smoke, or drink from a straw, the clot can be sucked out.





This causes what is known as dry socket, and can cause extreme pain.





Call your dentist immediately.

Pain between two teeth..?

i have pain between two teeth (1st molar %26amp; 2nd premolar(bicuspid)).. the bicuspid had a root canal, but i started feeling a really sharp pain that seems to come from between the two teeth.. dentist removed filling in molar, found some decay below the old filling and performed a root canal.. the pain is still there, dentist has referred me to a periodontist, but does anyone have an idea of what might be causing it..?? seeing the periodontist in a week..

Pain between two teeth..?
Did you report the symptoms as being "in between the teeth" or just a sharp pain? If the symptoms are actually worse now then prior to the root canal, it would seem logical that maybe there was another canal he was unable to locate. But it seems that if he is referring you to a Periodontist, he did not eliminate this when conducting his exam/diagnosis. PRIOR to you having to have a root canal.


-OR-....and this can be the case, he simply does not know, so he is sending you to a specialist. Either way, a Periodontist can evaluate this as an endo/perio lesion. It may be possible that you need to see an Endodontist if the Periodontist has no significant findings. Be sure to tell the Dr. if you have been on any antibiotics, when you started taking them and for how long. Antibiotics can mask symptoms as well.


I hope this helps

Pain in Molar Teeth?

I've currently experiencing pain in my molar teeth on both (1) the grinding surface and (2) side- between my "affected" molar and "unaffected molar". The pain occurs when i bite, and continue to linger. Dentist mentioned that it might be a cracked tooth, which is not visible to the naked eye, and said that an x-ray is not necessary. He suggested performing a root canal or bear with it if its bearable.


I was wondering whether are there any other ways to verify whether there is indeed a crack in the molar teeth, if the x-ray cannot see hairline cracks. Also, would dental bonding/filling the grinding surface be able to get rid of the pain?

Pain in Molar Teeth?
What you have is a cracked tooth, the symptoms you show are the classic for cracked tooth syndrom. The only way to treat that tooth is with a crown. The crown will hold the crack together and should no longer bother you. If you have cracked that tooth all the way into the root, then you will need a root canal and a crown. But there may not be a way to know that until after the crown is on. The x-ray will not show a crack unless the person taking the x-ray is lucky enough to get it lined up just right.
Reply:yes by a good dental examination and a dental history (symptoms,signs) plus x ray the dentist can diagnose your case....but it's maybe a crack as the dentist said coz your symptom(pain during biting) is related to the pressure you make on the tooth as when you bite the crack will dilate so the fluids and food enter the crack which will cause pain.... there is something called cracked tooth syndrome which cause the same pain you described but it mostly associated with a large filling, , i don't know whether your tooth has filling or not .


if you have a crack ,x ray alone can not reveal it.
Reply:You may simply be grinding you teeth. Teeth sit in a socket similar to a joint that allow some degree of movement. If you grind you teeth or bite down on something hard you may hurt the joint. It would be similar to landing the wrong way on your ankle. The problem with teeth is we have to use them all the time, and many people (sometimes unknowingly) put extra pressure on them when they are not eating. If you twist you ankle you try to rest it and the same must be done with the tooth. The dentist may also check your occlusion to see what kind of forces are being placed on the teeth. I would say 60-80% of toothaches are a result of this "traumatic occlusion."


If you tooth is cracked then no amount of rest will allow it to heal. Your dentist is suggesting you may have cracked root syndrome. The possibility that a root canal or crown will improve a cracked tooth is small. Extraction is usually the only successful treatment. So your dentist is trying to save the tooth by allowing it time to heal from traumatic occlusion. If it doesn't then the diagnosis of cracked root syndrome would be confirmed.


Hairlines fractures in a tooth are almost never visible on an x-ray. An endodontist may be able to see a crack using a surgical microscope.

Still pain after wisdom teeth extraction?

i just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out this past friday, and 3 are healing perfect i have not had any pain out of the what so ever, but the one on the bottom left was an inpacted tooth and it is killing me, the whole left side of my face is swollen and bruised, it hurts so bad. i dont think it is dry socket but i aint totally sure about that.. does anyone know when the pain is gonna ease up? it seems to be getting worse, the pain pills help b/c they knock me out, but i cant stay on pain pills b/c my mom leaves tom and and got my kids to take care of, and my pain pills make me dizzy and groggy...plus im really hungry lol....my mouth is so swollen i cant put my teeth together to chew anything..and what i would give for a hamburger right now lol. will the pain go away soon? or do i need to call me dr?

Still pain after wisdom teeth extraction?
Call your Dr.and explain your problem. Impacted teeth hurt the most and your symptoms are normal. They had to work on that tooth a lot longer! Working in the dental field I see this all the time! Time is all that it usually takes. Try a milder form of a pain killer such as an over the counter med( Advil, Aspirin, etc) Just call your pharmacist to make sure the prescription meds won't interfere with the Over the counter one BEFORE you start that! Ice your jaw too! And try pudding! Remember to not use a straw or smoke, you don't want dry socket on top of this!!
Reply:The pain will go away, it tooke me about a week before I could really eat anything again but I took a lot of the pain pills so I didn't feel too much. But 2 of mine were really impacted and they had to cut out the bone so they were really hurting. Just wait it out and you'll be fine.
Reply:take your but to the man who performed the procedure ( or woman) it is still covered in the cost. do it before you get lock jaw. until then rinse not swish with warm salt water,get a towel and soak it in Epsom salt and place it on the side of your face if need go the emergency room with your dentist info. You might have to get it drained : (
Reply:1. DO NOT SMOKE and avoid passive smoking


2. YOU MUST REST for at least a day, and avoid excessive exercise for 3-4 days. NSAID’s (like


diclofenac or piroxicam) can cause kidney problems when taken with vigorous exercise


3. TAKE ALL YOUR MEDICATIONS, follow the pharmacist’s instructions carefully, and commence


your anti-pain medications before your local anaesthetic wears off


4. ABSTAIN FROM ALCOHOL for at least a day


5. SOAK (but DO NOT RINSE) YOUR MOUTH AFTER 24 HOURS with your prescribed mouth


washes and salts. “Coffee hot” water (~38-40 degrees Celsius) mixed with a spoonful of


anaesthetic-laced-salt and allowed to “soak” over the surgical area can be very soothing. Only


use this method at least 24 hours after the procedure. Vigorous rinsing can lead to loss of


blood clot, and this in turn can lead to dry socket or wound breakdown. If you have been advised


to use nasal douche, commence this after 48 hours from your time of surgery


6. DO NOT EAT MILK PRODUCTS until your sutures are removed. Milk, custard, soy and yoghurt


can leave a film in your mouth that is difficult to clean without rinsing. Vigorous rinsing may lead to


wound opening and loss of clot. Long standing food residue can lead to wound infection


7. EAT SEMI SOLID OR LIQUID FOOD Beef broth, minestrone, noodle soups and blended fruit, or


you may purchase Enlive (Abbott) or Resource (Novatis) from the pharmacy. These have high


nutrition, are low in residue and are easy to swallow without chewing


IN THE EVENT OF BLEEDING


1. REMEMBER A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD IN A LOT OF SALIVA CAN SEEM LIKE YOU MAY BE


EXCESSIVELY, AND FALSELY BLEEDING


2. MOST BLEEDING WILL STOP WITH FIRM BITING on a soaking material such as rolled gauze,


muslin square, or clean handkerchief over the site of the extraction socket, or surgical wound. Be


careful in placing your soaking material so as not to open a fresh wound


3. BE PATIENT, QUIET, AND CALM. Do not let the advice or experiences of others lead you to an


irrational action or panic. Lie down in a quiet room and wait for 30 minutes to reassess whether


bleeding has ceased. If bleeding continues, attempt sucking on an ice cube placed directly over


the area of bleeding, and then repeat firm biting on a soaking material


4. IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO SPIT OR EXPECTORATE as this often stimulates more bleeding.


Try to swallow your saliva after you are sure that you are biting correctly on the rolled soaking


material you have placed over the socket


IN THE CASE OF PAIN OR DISCOMFORT


1. Take two Panadol or aspirin or follow the dosage instructions of the prescribed medication given


to you


2. With the use of paracetamol (Panamax, Panadol, Herron etc) take two tablets (1gm for adults, or


15mg/kg of body weight in children) every 4 to 6 hours

Pain after wisdom teeth extraction?

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and an impacted permanent tooth above a baby tooth removed 10 days ago. I do not have any pain where the wisdom teeth were removed, but I do have pain in my jaw joints. It's like I have an aching or tiredness in the jaw joints and cheek bones. It isn't a terrible pain but just enough to annoy you where you have to take an advil. I assumed it was just trauma from holding my jaw open for so long during the surgery, but I wasn't sure if I should still be having pain. The roof of my mouth is still a little swollen and tender as well from the impacted permanent tooth they removed so, I wasn't sure if that might have anything to do with it. Please help :0)

Pain after wisdom teeth extraction?
If you had all of that done, I would say you are healing well! You are right that your jaws are sore from opening so wide. It is normal for the jaws to be sore for several weeks more after wisdom teeth extractions. Just take the Advil, as you are. It will slowly go away. It takes about six months to really heal after wisdom teeth extractions.
Reply:I had 5 teeth removed 3 1/2 weeks ago. It was 4 wisdom teeth and an impacted baby tooth. I had the same problems you were having that the actual extraction points were virtually pain free besides being tender to the touch. My jaw is still a little bit tight when i attempt to open it wide. It gets better everyday and the less i focus on it the less i notice on it. Keep taking advil and you'll be fine in a few more weeks. Hope this helps

I got spacers and i am in pain???? TEETH?

i am in big pain what can i do?? other then to take some tylenol or advil?

I got spacers and i am in pain???? TEETH?
I got braces 2 days ago and spacers on Monday.....hang in there...at least it is the weekend.....take tylenol....rest....don't think about....when you are doing something fun it will take your mind off of it....do that...reward yourself...also definitely eat soft foods for a couple of days...eat loads of icecream...hope this helps...good luck with braces...
Reply:I've got braces and had spacers too, and the horrible thing is there isn't much you can do =\ Definitely avoid hard foods - drink water a lot, and eat soup :] But as for the pain, I found it fun to massage my gums with my tongue; the pressure sort of eased the pain a bit. Sorry you've gotta experience this pain, lol. It'll get better, don't worry.
Reply:maybe you can try putting baby teething gell on your gums, sometimes it helps numb your mouth, but it's not very strong, so it may not work.
Reply:I just got spacers this morning mine arent bad you get used to it. try biting something or eating something cold. you could take advil tylenol or ibuprofen. I think Advil is the best for that kind of pain. keeping your mind off it some way is best... i got a plastic thing like a wax bite for my pain and i put water on it and froze it... it helps alot.
Reply:seriously suck it up. Everyone's teeth hurt when they have spacers, have the occasional panadol or advil but really its not that bad. just suck it up you only need them in for 1-2 weeks
Reply:i'm just about to get my braces off in 4 weeks, yay, but for me, spacers didn't hurt at all!!! The braces ( after a while ) hurt really bad. Eat lots of ice- cream, and try chewing on ice ( lol ) Oh and just try to think about how great and perfect your teeth will be once you get the braces off! Good luck! Oh and try not to touch the spacers with your tounge too much, it might irritate your gums.. Hope I helped!

Im 23, took tylenol 3, 3 days ago for wisdom teeth, having chest pains? left arm pain? very bad??

ok so wednesday morning i had my wisdom teeth out, wednesday evening i took 1 tylenol 3 pill for the pain and got sick instantly from it and still am, puking since wednesday night. i stopped taking them after the first one, and have been having severe chest pain and pain radiating down my left arm since yesterday.. anyone know anything about this?? it hurts badly and im contemplating going to the ER after i call the dentist... i later found out the t-3 has hydrocodone as an active ingredient, which im allergic to in large doses, causes rash, hives, itching, bloating, ect.... anyone know anything?? been here?

Im 23, took tylenol 3, 3 days ago for wisdom teeth, having chest pains? left arm pain? very bad??
You should go to the doctor right away. allergic reactions can be deadly. Some allergic reactions can casue the tounge to swell and even cut off air flow through the windpipe. Most allergic reactions are minor, but not at all pleasing. The chest pain could possibly be anxiety form getting worked up about your vomitting reaction from the tylenol 3, which is probably also causing you to be dehydrated. but it's best just to see a doctor just in case. just stay calm and have someone take you to get checked out. you don't want to be driving if your syptoms worsen. good luck and i hope your feeling better soon....
Reply:GET OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND GO TO THE ER!!!
Reply:go to the doctors what r u waiting for????? thats nothing to play around with!!!!
Reply:The drugs have been out of your system for a long time. You may have an infection from the surgery. That is a serious risk. People with heart conditions take a preventative course of antibiotics every time they get dental surgery because of this.





It may also have nothing to do with your tooth at all and you're having a heart problem. Go to the hospital and explain your whole situation.

What can be done to relieve teeth sensitivity and pain?

I have been having cold/hot sensitivity on my right upper side, in the back. I had several fillings done, but months later, the pain is still there. The dentist says that I don't need a root canal, but doesn't know why I'm still having the sensitivity. Can it be my wisdom teeth, or an infection? Do I have mouth cancer? I also have constant pain in my lower right side. Do I need a new dentist? Sensitive toothpaste does not help.

What can be done to relieve teeth sensitivity and pain?
no, you'll have infection that has got to the inside of the tooth. The fillings may not have been placed deeply enough but there are many reasons why your dentist may not have initially done them so deeply. In other words, there may still be decay under the filling.





you'll need root canal treatment, that's it.





nothing else to worry about...from waht you say. unless you have white legions in your mouth i can say you probably don't have cancer.
Reply:Try getting another opinion. Try using orajel mouth aid until then. But seriously consider having another opinion if you are still in a constant discomfort. Good luck! Hope you feel better!
Reply:Sensodine toothpaste. For all your worries, those are questions for your dentist to answer.
Reply:If these are the white tooth colored fillings then they may be sensitive due to faulty technique. These restorations are extremely technique sensitive and if not adhered to explicitly the teeth will let you know by being sensitive long term. The only way to stop it is to redo the restorations.
Reply:Try getting a q tip and dabbing a bit of vodka on it and putting it in your gums,,it will help a lot
Reply:Try a different dentist and see if the pain goes away.

My whole mouth, and teeth are in pain?

Yesterday I got rubberbands for my braces, and they took 2 brackets off, and put bands on my 12 year old molars up top, so I got a lot of work done.





Anyway, all of my teeth hurt. Any ways to get rid of the pain without meds or ice? (ice doesn't work)

My whole mouth, and teeth are in pain?
Wow, I remember going through that sore stage everytime I got my teeth tightend. You could try oragel, but it will numb up your mouth. Motrin, or some other pain killer brand my do the trick. If not, Its the oragel for temporary relief. Just don't use too much.
Reply:sleep lol


always helps =]
Reply:Your mouth is adjusting to this and you will be in pain for a short while, take some pain meds, whatever works for you. You could call your orthodontist but its just part of getting your teeth straightened. Oh there is that stuff they rub on baby gums Absosol its usually in that section for babies, or try where the toothpaste is located. That works temporarily too.
Reply:Try to get some clove oil from the drugstore or health food store. It works amazingly well for tooth/gum pain. If you can't find clove oil, get some powdered cloves (in the spices section of the grocery or health food store) and rub sparingly in the most painful areas. It can be a little hard on your stomach in large amounts, so just try a little bit at a time and you'll be surprised at how well it works! Much better than oragel or anbesol.

Is there any medication you can give a cat for teeth pain?

What kind of pain exactly? From a broken tooth? Or general rotten teeth? If your cat has dental pain you can't just bung painkillers at him, he needs dental work from a vet!





If you already planning to take him to a vet and are looking for something to help in the meantime, as I said feline painkillers are prescription only. You can try any stuff you might find in a pet shop - it's all general sales stuff so should be harmless anyway (although petshop flea treatment isn't actually).





Even the human 'toothache kits' you can buy specifically say they are only temporary measures until you can get medical attention.





Chalice

Is there any medication you can give a cat for teeth pain?
if he likes garlic, give him some. Garlic oil is one of the best remedies for tooth pain.


You should also know that tooth pain in a cat may be a sign of dental disease, which left untreated can lead to death. I'd recommend you to take it to a vet as soon as you can for a teeth check-up.
Reply:You could give it a little childrens Tylenol. You could also rub a bit of Oragel, Numbsit or something of that sort on the kitties gums. I've heard that pure vanilla extract rubbed on the gums will numb them a bit.
Reply:Your cat has tooth pain because of oral infection or injury, and giving him something to sooth it will only allow you to ignore the problem further. Have your cat's teeth cleaned.





Do NOT give your cat Tylenol, or any pain medication labeled for humans. It is toxic to felines and canines.
Reply:NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE YOUR CAT TYLENOL!!!





It is EXTREMELY toxic to cats. It will send your cat into liver failure that it will have a very slim chance of living through!!! Ask ANY reputable vet!!





The best thing for pain relief is anything you can get from your vet. The best thing for your cat's dental health is for you to get it to a vet and have a dental cleaning done.

I used Lexapro for 30 days and started Severe teeth pain (grinding)?

Did anyone used Lexapro or other SSRI drug and experienced the same? how to avoid it as I have stop taken it and my doctor can explain the causes.

I used Lexapro for 30 days and started Severe teeth pain (grinding)?
I experienced extreme tooth pain from lexapro. It went away eventually. It is on the list of side effects. Weird! They hurt so bad i wanted to pull them out. It was worth sticking it out though. the headaches and tooth pain went away. I found it strange that on the list of side effects tooth pain was listed for those being treated for anxiety but not for those being treated for depression alone.
Reply:I USE LEXAPRO TOO AND THAT NEVER HAPPEN TO ME...MAYBE TRY A DIFFERENT STRENGTH

After whitening my teeth, extreme gum pain...what should I do?

I whitened my teeth several days ago, and I have whitened my teeth several times before, without problems. This time, however, my gums were very sensitive, and have slowly worsened, and are now to the point where I can't eat or talk without extreme pain. My gums and the part that connects my lip to my gums, are in extreme pain. I don't know what's wrong, and if I should just continue numbing it and wait it out, as I have been told to do, or if it's serious enough that I should make a dentist's appointment. Please help!

After whitening my teeth, extreme gum pain...what should I do?
Stay away from whitening until it gets resolved.





it can be an allergy but if you are using the same stuff as before, it probably isn't.





you probably has the gel contact the gums for too long. this is common but it will go away, just don't aggravate it more by whitening more.





if it doesn't go away, see your dentist.





keep smiling
Reply:Take a few days off before whitening your teeth again. Maybe you kept the whitening on the teeth for too long of a time. Do it for 30-45 min., once per day.
Reply:Forget the dentist, go to A %26amp; E. It sounds like you are having an allergic reaction and the best treatment will be at hospital.
Reply:use sensitive tooth pastes such as sensodyne or peonamel, which can help with sensitivity but it may be an extreme gum reaction so see the dentists ASAP.


Take care
Reply:sounds liek some of the stuff got under your gum line. you should see a dentist
Reply:If u keep whitening them every so often your gums will become real sensitive. I would say do that about one a month. If u dont yur gums are gonna be jacked up.

Bottom teeth fillings causing pain in top fillings.?

I have 3 fillings on the top and bottom teeth. I got the top fillings 3 weeks ago and it didn't hurt. But, when I got my bottom fillings last week my top fillings started hurting at random times of the day. Usually the pain wouldn't really bother me but, the pain is coming when I am asleep. So it wakes me up and I usually have to take tylenol and wait until it took affect and go back to sleep. But that usually takes about and hour. Does anyone know what the Problem is?

Bottom teeth fillings causing pain in top fillings.?
It could be that maybe the dentist didn't adjust the hight of the fillings correctly and when you bite down your bite is not the same. Go back to the dentist and have him check it out with "blue bitting paper".





If that's the problem the dentist will just sand the filling a little to get a better contact. I've seen it happen lotsa times.


Good Luck!
Reply:Dah .... go see a Dentist.

Can grinding and clenching your teeth cause nerve pain?

My teeth started having nerve pain to the point where I had a root canal done last year. Now the same pain is back in the tooth next to it, but the dentist says the tooth is healthy and not damaged, though there is evidence of grinding and clenching. I figure this can cause muscle pain, but nerve pain??

Can grinding and clenching your teeth cause nerve pain?
grinding is not likely to develope nerve pain. however, clenching will. if you always clench your teeth hard, it will most likely hurt the underneath periodontium (supporting fibres and bones)


when this happens, the nerve the the base of your roots are affected, or even the bones supporting your teeth, take an x-ray, i would suggest and see if it has damage your periodontium.
Reply:yes see a denist about problem ask about tmj had it is painful and can cause tooth loss
Reply:its likely muscle pain, you need a tooth gaurd
Reply:yes. I felt like I had a constant sinus infection because of the referred pain from grinding my teeth. I got a 'bite plate' and it has really helped.
Reply:Each tooth has a nerve inside each root of the tooth all connected to a main nerve supply.Undue pressure on any nerve can cause it to die. The dying nerve causes alot of problems one of which is pain. Damage from other areas can also be referred to where you have pain via the main connecting nerve.Appliances and other methods may be persued to give you help with your grinding. Trying antagonistic thing before sleep is detriminal to restful not clenching sleep. Coffee, choc. high energy carbs to close to bedtime creates problems for clenchers like myself.And yes I have a mouth piece and yes I have grinded so hard as to have to have a nerve removed.Keep in touch with your dentist on this matter. Sometimes a tooth dies before the dentist can see radiographic proof.
Reply:Yes it can. You need to have a splint made to protect your teeth. Grinding and clenching can be caused very various things including stress, pain, a bad bite and also airway impairment ie: snoring, enlarged tonsils and sleep apnea so please get you airway checked.
Reply:Most likely it is really muscle pain. You should talk to your dentist about a tooth guard. They come over the counter, but the dentist can fit you for a good one that will be MUCH more comfortable. It is definitely worth it and insurance will generally cover it.

What can i do to soothe wisdom teeth pain?

do those ointments work?

What can i do to soothe wisdom teeth pain?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to develop and appear in the mouth. They are called "wisdom teeth" because they usually appear during a person's late teens or early twenties, which has been called the "age of wisdom" The normal position of wisdom teeth is behind the upper and lower second, or 12-year molars. Many times the jaws are not large enough to accommodate the four wisdom teeth. This is why wisdom teeth cause more problems than any other teeth in the mouth. In fact, for nine out of ten people at least one wisdom tooth remains underneath the gum due to lack of space in the mouth.

I am 40 and am being strongly encouraged to get my wisdom teeth out. I have no pain. Should I?

Or is this yet another unnecessary medical procedure being recommended? Several dentists think I should, my friend an ER doc says, "why? you have no pain, your teeth have stopped growing." I also have a 5% risk of permanent nerve damage if I have them removed. The risk of molar damage from leaving them in is "highly likely" according to the doc.

I am 40 and am being strongly encouraged to get my wisdom teeth out. I have no pain. Should I?
Wisdom teeth can grow after 40!!!!





I'm a 41 year old female and just had three wisdom teeth pulled yesterday! (I was born with two upper and only one lower). Like you, I had been told they had stopped growing, though over the years my dentist still suggested removal. At my 6 month cleaning last November, there was no sign of movement in my wisdom teeth. By December, the lower left molar started to erupt and I could see the tooth. I had no pain, it was coming in straight, and there was room in my mouth so the dentist decided to let nature take its course. I had slight pain as the tooth broke threw the gum, but nothing bad at all and was proud to be cutting a tooth (even joked about it :)





Last weekend, I had the worse pain of my life and I was out of town for the weekend. I was taking Extra Strength Tylenol (1000mg every 3 hrs) and Motrin for the swelling. Nothing worked. The lower left side of jaw was somewhat numb and I couldn't swallow due to the pain. It was excruciating. I went to the oral surgeon first thing Monday morning and he said the tooth was vertically impacted and infected. He put me on penicillin for the infection, Vicoden for the pain, and prescribed a dental rinse called Peridex which really worked to kill the bacteria. We scheduled extraction for Friday morning (yesterday) to give the infection time to heal. Tuesday and Wedsnesday I was still miserable as the penicillin takes a few days to battle the infection. I could barely get off the couch and survive without Vicoden and an ice pack! By Thursday I was more mobile and I was actually looking forward to the surgery as the pain was completely unnecessary if I had followed my dentist's advice years earlier.





Surgery was a piece of cake and completely uneventful. Of course, they go over all the risks - nerve damage, etc, etc, etc, but that's for their own statistical protection and your right as an informed consumer. I had a crown on the second molar that I was told may be damaged due to the fact it was overlapping the wisdom tooth, I already had dumbness in my jaw due to the infection so nerve damage was possible, my infected wisdom tooth was growing into the cheek and gum, etc etc etc.





In any event, I opted to get all three teeth out even though I had no issue with my upper teeth - I never ever want to go through the pain again (and I have a high tolerance for pain) and the cost was minimal to get all three done at once ($1950 for IV sedation and three extractions). I ended up paying $400 out of pocket.





The morning of surgery I was surprisingly calm. I opted for IV sedation and it was so easy I have to tell you it was 1000% times easier than a filling or root canal. I arrived about 9:30am, had a nice conversation with the nurse while she took my blood pressure in the chair, she gave me a blanket (this made me feel warm and safe, as I was nervous), she gave me a small mask with an oxygen/laughing gas mix to relax me while we chatted. When the doctor finished with his previous patient, he came in and started the IV. I remember chatting with him and thanking him for his consultation throughout the week when I was in misery... the next thing I remember was waking up wondering when it was going to begin - though the surgery was over and I was resting comfortably in the chair. The whole thing took about 90 minutes door-to-door, with the actual extraction taking about 15 minutes. The only thing I remember is feeling the stitching slide across my lip at one point as the doctor sutured my gums, but they must have administered more sedative as it's just a brief memory and no pain whatsoever. I came out of sedation very easily and felt fine yesterday - we spent the day relaxing and catching up on reality TV shows! I feel fantastic today, slight swelling and tenderness on my lower left side but I feel on top of the world and soooo thankful the pain is gone and knowing that I won't ever have to deal with that pain with my top teeth. The doctor even let me keep the top teeth (the bottom impacted tooth was in pieces due to the extraction) and I told him I hope the tooth fairy accounts for inflation as my the last time he visited was in 1980 and I got $10 at that time :)





In all seriousness, don't wait to get them removed.





My top teeth were a very easy extraction as the teeth were small and the roots hadn't started penetrating (the teeth look really cool - well formed top tooth with the roots all tightly together as they hadn't separated to grow into the jawbone yet). The bottom tooth is another story and I didn't get to keep it for obvious reasons. In three months time it went from no activity to fully impacted and infected. I have disolvable stitches in my cheek and gum but that was because I waited so long. I have no pain or swelling at all in my top teeth (the ones that were removed without symptom).





Sorry for the long note - but I spent an entire week reading blogs before my surgery and ended up scaring myself more than trusting my dental professionals. Sedation dentistry is amazing and it's the only way I'd go for wisdom tooth extraction. I still have nightmares from teeth being pulled as a child, so I was especially afraid of this extraction.





Of course there are a lot of personal factors to consider for your own case, but from my experience I thought it was all a scam to get money from the insurance company until I lived a week in hell with the impacted, infected tooth. The fact that it happened virtually overnight for me (two months elapsed time).





Good luck! Like I said, the surgery was completely easy and if you follow post-op instructions you should have no problem at all.
Reply:I wonder in what way your molars will be damaged. Sounds fishy and unnecessary to me. I vote for the do nothing approach. I had 3 out of 4 wisdom teeth removed about 10 years ago when I was in my 30s, but they were causing me problems and pain. The surgeon was very kind, but it didn't strike me as a simple procedure. He gave me IV Valium. I was still semi-conscious and it seemed like a war was going on inside my head with all the noise and vibration. He was unable to get the 4th impacted wisdom tooth, and I still have it. Recovery was the pitts. I think I would avoid was sounds like elective surgery to me.
Reply:I agree with your friend, if they dont hurt why take them out. They normally only take them out if theyre hurting you or theyre going to come in and damage or move your other teeth.
Reply:My dentist told me that unless I am having a problem then I shouldn't worry about it. He's been watching them for 30 years and things are fine.





You can always have them pulled if they start causing a problem.

YOUR PHYSICIAN WOULD PROBABLY REFER YOU TO A DENTIST SINCE THIS DOC DOESN'T USUALLY HAVE A PANORAMIC X-RAY MACHINE.


IT'SBEST TO SEE A DENTIST WHO HAS ONE AND CAN GIVE YOU THE PROPER DIAGNOSIS.
Reply:I had similar sounding symptoms about 2 years ago and I had TMJ (and to be honest, I can't remember what that stands for!) Turns out I was clenching my teeth when I experienced stress of any kind. It was a hard habit to break, but being aware that I was even doing it was a big help! I had been doing it for so long that it was starting to affect my hearing. (It's all connected you know.) It's all good now!
Reply:Next monday for the doctor and next month for the dentist are just too far away. Call the dentist's office and tell them you are really in pain...they will usually see you promptly when you tell them that. TMJ is a possible cause, but I would be concerned about an infection also...so really try to get seen soon.
Reply:I would do warm presses in the area of discomfort and some massaging to relax muscles of face and jaw. You may be experiencing TMJ which can be aggravated with stress. Or who knows, it may be your wisdom teeth errupting if their not out already. Try to make it to the dentist sooner than later.
Reply:it could be due to the wisdom tooth coming out...just check out wheather the gums around your last tooth on the affected side is hurting you(press with your finger and feel). usually any pain of the lower back teeth can give an associated ear ache. an antibiotic plus pain-killer could give you lot of relief.
Reply:it will be better if you apply warm compress on the areas where its painful...request for pain relievers from your physician...then observe.
Reply:go to the dr or emergency room and have them order you a panoramic x-ray of your jaw. that is the first step, unless they can figure it out before doing that. it could be a number of things. it could be a virus. go to the dr now.
Reply:First look up TMJ on line and see if this sounds similar to what you are feeling. However, most people with TMJ have it come on gradually instead of being hit with the pain all at once as you have been. If it is not TMJ it sure sounds like a dental problem more than a medical one. I cannot believe your dentist cannot see you sooner on an emergency bases. Try calling back and get put on a cancelation list and they may be able to get you in sooner.

What do I do for wisdom teeth pain%26gt;?
You can use Orajel
Reply:Go to a dentist!
Reply:Ambasol and suck on ice chips. Been there. Get them out fast or they will move all your teeth very quickly.
Reply:Have them extracted. You don't need them and most mouths don't really have room for them anyway. In fact, as the wisdom teeth try to find room in your mouth they can cause your other teeth to shift position. Even worse, the wisdom teeth can damage the nerves in your mouth. After 10 years or more I still have occasional numbness in my tongue because I didn't have my last two wisdom teeth removed soon enough. If you hate dentists, as most of us do, then go to an oral surgeon who will knock you out during the procedure. Actually, a lot of dentists these days won't do extractions anyway.
Reply:AHHH, HAD THAT 1 B4. MINE HAD A HOLE N IT LIKE GRAND CANYON, BUT I GOT AN OLD SCHOOL DENTIST. HE FILLED IT WITH THE WHITE FILLING. THE SILVER EXPANDS AND CONTRACT CAUSING MORE TOOTH DAMAGE. AND IT COST ME $90 AND THE THE NUMB JAW A FEW HRS; BUT TO PULL IT MEANS ORAL SURGERY CAUSE ITS WAY IN THE BACK- COST $140 AND A WEEKS WORTH OF PAIN KILLER (T3)+ANTIBIOTICS. YOUR CHOICE, CHOOSE WISELY. AND GET DENTIST THAT REALLY ADVOCATE SAVING A TOOTH THAN JUST SNATCHING THEM OUT. THE ONLY REAL SET YOU'LL GET IN THIS LIFE. MAKE THEM LAST. DENTURES ARE NO JOKE-BUT AS A LAST RESORT IF YOU MUST.
Reply:Get them removed. you don't need your wisdom teeth unless you have room for them and you have no problem keeping them clean. Otherwise they just cause you problems with your other teeth. If they hurt its usually to late to fix what is wrong easily.
Reply:I'd go to a dentist. ASAP. Your teeth are probably pushing against each other and your skin is being pushed open as well. You may need them pulled.

Teeth and gum pain question?

On the 13th of MArch I had prep work completed on 2 teeth for crowns that should be put in place on the 27th of MArch. I am still in pain. I went back once and they said they didn't have the temporaries aligned properly and apologized. I am still hurting taking advil for pain. Is this normal until the actual crowns get put on? Help my teeth really hurt! Thank you!

Teeth and gum pain question?
It is not normal to experience severe pain, but in many cases it is normal to experience a lot of sensitivity. During the crown prep the enamel is completely removed from the tooth leaving the dentin exposed. Dentin is extremely sensitive!! However, after adjusting the temporaries, if you are still in a lot of pain, go back and see the dentist again. Don't worry about 'bothering' the dentist and the staff... that is the reason they are there. Also, if you are experiencing that much sensitivity, I would recommend that you ask the doctor to numb you when you go in to have the permanent crown placed. This is not normally done, but should be in situations such as yours.
Reply:No it's not normal...you should not be having that much pain. Call your dentist and have him take another look. It could be an infection.
Reply:it's not normal - first get a stronger pain-reliever then go visit your doctor again.
Reply:I agree with the dental instructor. If your tooth is HURTING and not just sensitive, there is a problem. A dull ache, worse at night, heart beat type throb, hurts when you bite or tap, and set off by heat???? This would mean you need a root canal. Do not have the permanent crown placed if you feel these symptoms, the last thing you want is for them to drill a hole through your $700 crown and then have to plug it. Let them know it is not better as soon as possible.

Extracted wisdom teeth???? Is this pain NORMAL?

My 4 wisdom teeth were extracted Tuesday morning, and I felt great all day Tuesday and all day yesterday too with only minor swelling. I've been able to talk, hang out with friends, go out, and just do whatever I normally do. But for some reason, today (day 3), I woke up and the pain was much worse, my jaw hurt, I could feel the stitches, and I also had more swelling! Is this normal? Isn't the pain supposed to lessen as the days go by, not get worse? Also, I am still not able to eat what I want to...I tried eating a baked potato with barbecue, and it took me forever. I couldn't even chew it, I have to press it to the roof of my mouth in order for me to swallow it. On top of that, I notice that my other teeth that were next to my wisdom teeth hurt now as well. Whats going on??? I was doing so well... Is it normal for the pain to get worse, or do I need to go to my oral surgeon and get a check up? I just want to eat and go back to work and be normal. :(

Extracted wisdom teeth???? Is this pain NORMAL?
for the first week you have to eat really soft food.


like: applesauce, pudding, Jello, Ect.


no soda for at least two weeks.it can cause dry sockets.


to help with the pain, eat cold stuff like: yogurt, jello, icecream, anything cold.


keep ice on your cheeks for awhile. it'll help the swelling





hope this helps
Reply:did you stop taking pain medication?


when i got mine out i was supposed to gargle warm salt water about 4 to 6 times a day and that cleans it and takes down the swelling. mine hurt for about 5 days so id wait 2 or 3 more days and if it still hurts bad than go back to the surgeon.
Reply:It is possible, the day of and day after you could have had residual affects of the numbing agent they used to extract the teeth. The area is now realizing what appened and yes it will seem like the teeth around are aching and you might even start to have headaches.





It took me about a week before I could eat normally after having mine extracted. ( I had three taken out)





If you are concerned it can't hurt to call your oral surgeon, if nothing else they can prescribe a pain killer to help you get through the next day or two.
Reply:You could be experiencing dry sockets. I've heard that kind of pain is terrible and common in wisdom tooth sockets. You need to call them and let them know, they can write a prescription and tell you how to take care of it, they should have already.
Reply:Can you say infection?


Get to a doctor or clinic immediately before your face rots off!!!


EMERGENCY - just show up at the surgeon's office.
Reply:the 3 and 4 day are alway sworse than the first
Reply:You could have what is called "dry sockets". It is when the blot clot that forms after the extraction is lost. Therefore exposing the bone and\or the nerve. Is there an odor? That is another symptom of dry socket. If this is the case, you need to see your dentist so that he can insert a medicated gauze on the site.
Reply:I lived off of pudding and slimfast shakes for a week and a half after I had mine out.





My doctor gave me an anti swelling agent that helped, but I still had swelling that increased for a few days post-op then went down.





I would say, if you are still uncomfortable tomorrow AM, you should at the very least call and ask your surgeon's office if they think you should go in.





It will take some time for your life to go back to normal, but I do understand the feeling. It sucks watching everyone else eat steak when you're stuck with a milkshake because it hurts. Hang in there. Your mouth will heal faster than you know it.
Reply:The third post-operative day is always the worst. Have you been taking your medication like your supposed to. The docs I work for recommend taking Advil or Ibuprofen ever 6 hours for three days whether you think you need it or not. This keeps down the swelling and inflammation. You should have been taking it easy and not doing what you normally do. Put ice packs on your cheeks. DO NOT DRINK WITH A STRAW. Eat a soft diet.





The pain in your teeth next to your wisdom teeth probably hurt because the areas are tender or your having referred pain.





Call your doctor.

Use the pain killers that the dentist gave you. If they didn't give you anything motrin is usually very effective. Also, keep ice on the side(s) of your face as much as possible for the first few days... this will help with any swelling, and also dull any pain you're feeling.

Wisdom teeth pulled.. numbness & pain?

i just got my 4 wisdom teeth pulled on friday,


im healing just fine %26amp; most of the pain is gone. but one side of my lower lip/gums is still numb %26amp; my front bottom teeth [NOT my wisdom teeth] are hurting ! and as the numbness goes away the pain goes away. im not worried about the numbness going away or whatever, im just getting frustrated that my front little teeth are hurting... is that normal? im just pretty confused lol. i hope that made sense.. :]

Wisdom teeth pulled.. numbness %26amp; pain?
if you have the numbness still, the dentist must have damaged your nerve, it will take time to recover. Need to take a lot of Vit B to make the nerve regenerate.
Reply:yeah it's normal...take something to ease the pain. If it doesn't go away in another few days or so I would talk to your dentist.
Reply:I had the same pain, it's basically from them putting so much pressuring and pulling that actually pull against your other teeth. It's not an easy thing to do without pushing surrounding teeth.
Reply:Don't worry about it. You just had tissue severed. The feeling will come back in a few weeks at the most. Once in awhile you have permanent numbness, but that is a rarity. Let yourself heal from the trauma and all will be well.
Reply:After there's a change in the mouth, your body tries to adapt to it. I recently got a cavity filling myself, and it's still a little painful. If you have a tooth pulled, your mouth should go back to normal in about 3 weeks.
Reply:Yes, this is totally normal! I just had two wisdoms removed on February 8th and have experienced the same pain! I called the oral surgeon and he said this is pretty normal.





Just remember to rinse with salt water and you should still be able to brush the front teeth. It will subside soon! Just remember that this is a lot of trauma to the mouth and your remaining teeth are adjusting to the new space and therefore your other, seemingly unrelated teeth may ache from time to time!





No worries!
Reply:Yeah my son (22) went through the same thing last month,also had 4 pulled.The first week was hell,excruciating pain,told he had dry socket.He was taking pain killers but they didn't really do much.Even when he went back upstate to where he attends college,it was still bothering him going into the second week.But it did finally get back to normal,just took time.











Everyone reacts differently to this procedure,some get back to normal with little pain within a couple of days,others very painful and longer before it heals.He also complained that other teeth were hurting too....hang in there it will get back to normal!!!!

Right Molar Pain - Cavitiy or Wisdom Teeth Related?

I am in my early 20s and have partial dental coverage though my university. I went in for a cleaning back in September and had a some pain in the upper right molars. The dentist poked around and didn't think it was a cavity without taking any x-rays. The pain wasn't always there and would go away in a day. The dentist thinks it might have something to do with my wisdom teeth and suggested I removed them. Although the pain is in the teeth next to the teeth next to the wisdom teeth.





Now the pain has been coming back and going away for a week now. I don't know if I should go back to the same dentist or not because with he will cover the cost my dental plan doesn't . I wonder if it might be a cavity because when I feel this molar with my tongue, I could feel a hole. Meanwhile, the dentist has been calling to see if I want to get my wisdom teeth removed.





Should I go back to this dentist and ask him to check if it is a cavity or go to see someone else. Or it is something else?

It is likely that your dentist is correct about the problem being your wisdom teeth. Those teeth do weird things like come in at different angles thus pushing your good teeth out of alignment. Wisdom teeth can also break through the gum line and then recede leaving a hole that, if food or bacteria get into (very likely) can get infected.





There is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion and/or x-rays to confirm the need for the removal of your wisdom teeth. Don't be shy about asking your health center dentist about taking x-rays (especially since they're free or close to it). Regardless, make certain that YOU have a chance to examine the x-rays with your doctor pointing out why you need the extractions or not.





It is your health ... you must take charge and ask questions.





Good luck ... OH, one more thing ... (maybe two) ... I'd highly suggest that you get all four out at once (a little more pain, but you only have the pain one time as opposed to having two out on two different occasions) ... AND, be sure you feel confident in the oral surgeon or dentist that will do the extractions.

Why Do Decayed Teeth Pain the Most at Night??

I am not a dentist, but common sense tells me that...





1. When you lay down at night to sleep the more blood goes to your head and increases


sensitivity.





2. Like with colds and other ailments, your body is more rundown by the end of the day and susceptible to the effects on your immune system.





3. During the day you will be preoccupied with the necessities of life and more apt to ignore or forget the pain. Adrenaline and physical movements also mask pain.

Why Do Decayed Teeth Pain the Most at Night??
Because you are just laying there doing nothing to distract yourself from the pain. During the day, you are doing stuff and don't pay as much attention to the pain.

Why would gum disease cause tooth pain? Some of my teeth hurt from gum disease-why is that?

Pain from gum disease, probably not decay, but anything is possible. What I typically see is gum recession from gum disease and exposed roots in the small molars on eaither side of the mouth. if you touch something cold to the teeth like iced water the tooth will fire off an owie and you feel the tooth. . . zingg. . this type of pain is quick to come and quick to subside. If you drag your nail across the tooth at the base near the gum and it fires off. Thats IT!

Why would gum disease cause tooth pain? Some of my teeth hurt from gum disease-why is that?
Gingivitis. It's because you have bacteria lodged between your gum and your tooth and it's causing slow decay.





You can use hydro peroxide for 3 days only (swish DO NOT SWALLOW), and it should kill the bacteria.





Use a good mouthwash (Biotene).
Reply:The bacteria had found a way to the inner of the tooth and start to infect it.

Upper jaw teeth pain with cold or hot foods?

sounds like you may need a root canal when the nerve endings of your teeth are close to the surface or are exposed to the air they will become sensitive to temperature differences and it may feel like your jaw is tightening up and painful. It is a simple procedure to put a coating over the surface area of your tooth and protect the nerves and then presto the pain will go away

Upper jaw teeth pain with cold or hot foods?
That happens to me, You have cavities, better get them filled or else, the hole in the teeth will get bigger and eventually you will either lose the teeth or need a root canal.
Reply:Try sensidine, and go to the dentist!
Reply:or you could just have sensitive teeth, if you do, there are toothpastes that help.
Reply:Most obvious would be a dental problem. Least obvious would be sinus infection, if female - menstrual cycle, if male - um....???, a bad thing starting such as trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headaches, a migraine variant.
Reply:Go see your dentist. Sensodyne will only work while you're using it %26amp; if the problem is bad enough, it won't work at all. By the way, problems with your teeth may come %26amp; go for awhile, but they won't go away on their own.
Reply:Yes, that sounds like a cavity. Go to the dentist %26amp; get it checked.
Reply:Some refer to as toothbrush abrasion, you might ask your dentist about desensitizing in Houston usually runs approx. $25 per tooth sometimes if your a clincher /grinder may need a splint.
Reply:go to the dentist!

My dentist took out my wisdom teeth lower ,left side a week ago but i have a lot of pain?

i have a lot of pain in upper side of neck, i feel that pain in tonsils


but its a pain of teeth

My dentist took out my wisdom teeth lower ,left side a week ago but i have a lot of pain?
I had all four cut out and to me it was worse than having my 4 yes...4 kids natural. You can't talk, eat, drink or anything. It is normal just make sure you swish you mouth and clean out ALL of the food or it can get infected (mine did) your jaw will swell up and feel hot to the touch and be puffy. I had a syringe to put warm water in and put down in the holes where they were cut out to wash all of the food out. Oh my how much food was packed down in there. Don't suck out of a straw it will cause dry socket!!! Just mouth wash and call the Dr. for pain medication.. they gave me loratabs and I also took advil with it. I slept with a heating pad on my face it helps a lot on low/medium heat. I hope this helps but I was in pain for a good month or longer. Good luck!!
Reply:might be dry socket

Ear paining like hell, whether it would be teeth pain effect or cough effect/ explain?

I'm a dentists. If you have been having trouble with a tooth lately that is the only way the ear pain could be connected. Otherwise you may have an ear infection due to some other cause. If you haven't had any trouble with your teeth/tooth then go and see your medical doctor to determine what the problem with your ear is.

I recently got 2 of my 5 wisdom teeth pulled on the same side of my mouth, I'm still in some pain?

I got my wisdom teeth pulled(2 of the 5 on just one side) abotu 3 weeks ago. I recently been haveing sharp pain originating from that area up to the top of my head. And it takes a couple minutes to pass. It also feels as if I have a cavitity there. I have holes where the wisdom teeth where, are those called dry sockets? Will they fill up eventually? Is the pain my teeth settling in there new position. The dentist told me it would take awhile for my teeth to heal do to my age (26) is this true also?

I recently got 2 of my 5 wisdom teeth pulled on the same side of my mouth, I'm still in some pain?
i had dry socket when they had to impact my wisdom teeth... the reason i knew i had it was b/c the drugs they gave me stopped working... i was still in so much pain even though i was taking vicodin... then i ran out of that and was literally having to take 800mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours... it's best to go back and have them thoroughly clean your sockets... for me they put oil of clove strips in the sockets so i wouldn't feel the pain while they healed...
Reply:Okay... why do you have 5 wisdom teeth?





Most "normals" have 4... Two on the left, and two on the right.





You have holes where they had been, cause they were removed.





If you aren't CAREFUL, they CAN become dry sockets, which you do NOT want. Yes, they will "fill up".





Since it's been 3 weeks, call you dentist and demand another appointment and tell him what is going on.





Do you smoke? Have you been eating and drinking hot foods?





EDIT~~ Pinky... I do not think they "impacted your wisdom teeth" I think you meant they REMOVED your impacted wisdom teeth.
Reply:hhhhhhmmmmmmmmm I thought we only had 4 wisdom teeth
Reply:You could have a dry socket, you should go see your dentist if it is a dry socket it can be packed with some medication that will make it feel much better. It does take awhile for the socket to heal and completely close, since you are still having pain you should go get checked out.

Sometimes teeth pain is about pressure, sometimes sensitivity to hot, sometimes to cold, etc. Could you tell?

me what each symptom is usually associated with in regards to its dental problem?

Sometimes teeth pain is about pressure, sometimes sensitivity to hot, sometimes to cold, etc. Could you tell?
Pain for duration of cold stimulus - early-to-mid size dental caries; root or abfraction sensitivity; mild gingival inflammation


Pain lingering after cold - acute pulpitis, possibly reversible; moderate gingival inflammation


Pain on hot stimulus - chronic pulpitis, generally not reversible; periapical area, such as abscess or granuloma; more severe gingival inflammation


Pain on pressure that remains after stimuls is gone - periapical area, such as abscess or granuloma; occlusal trauma (periodontal ligament inflammation)


Pain only at the instant of biting pressure or upon release of biting pressure - cracked tooth





These are a few that come to mind... Are you having a problem or writing a paper?
Reply:the sensitivity to cold and hot could be due to the weakening of your tooth enamel -try using toothpaste made especially for sensitive teeth..





ideally you should speak to your dentist ... only he (or she) will be able to diagnose the problem correctly
Reply:maybe its a sign to indicate that you are about to get a cavity
Reply:If your tooth hurts for no apparent reason and hurts real bad (throbbing pain) and does not go away till you take medication, you most likely need a root canal. A tooth hurting on pressure could need something as simple as an occlusal adjustment or it could need a root canal. Tooth hurting on pressure is usually indicative of periodontal (gum and bone around tooth) problem.


Sensitive to heat happens when the pulp of the tooth is injured for some reason.
Reply:Sensitvity to temperature can be because of loss of tooth enamel. When it's pressure and temperature it can be am abcess or cyst. Go to your dentist and tell him all your symptoms, he'll take an X-ray to verify. But you will probably need a root canal.

I have extreme pain radiating from my jaw to my chin which comes and goes every few minutes. Teeth feel fine.

Could this be dental related even though my teeth don't hurt? I had a deep filling done in that area several months ago. I don't feel pain in teeth, just in the chin area radiating from jaw. Pain is excruciating, then subsides, then a few minutes later it comes back again! This has been going on for several days and keeping me awake all night. I have dental appt. on Monday. Does this sound like dental related?

I have extreme pain radiating from my jaw to my chin which comes and goes every few minutes. Teeth feel fine.
nope it sounds like angina, see a doctor x
Reply:I thinkk its jaw pain .even I had it. dont bite and eat hard food. avoid turning your jaw .dont open your mouth too much. oil massage is best.mix lavender oil with peppermint oil.and with your thumb massage .do this for about a week or till pain subside.best of luck
Reply:It might be. Hope you can wait until the Monday appointment. This may also be heart related, so if you're at risk for a heart attack, and even if you're not, if this pain continues much longer I would head to the emergency room asap.
Reply:sounds like to need to take sinus med. because when you get sinus or Hay Fever %26amp; Seasonal Allergies. your teeth move in and out. but still have your teeth look at to you never know
Reply:could be dental related, but i would get to my M.D. and tell him what your symptoms are exactly. He might refer you to have a coronary checkup. Radiating pain in the jaw, along w/ heaviness in the chest and pain in the left arm are all classic signs of a heart attack!!! Get this checked out asap. don't play games with this, your body is talking to you.
Reply:Having pain in the are where you had deep filling may be the problem Is there an infection? or was it close to a nerve?


Keep your dentist appt on Monday if that is not the problem then see a cardiologist. Maybe there is an abscess on the root of the tooth.
Reply:If symptoms get worse before your appt Monday I would consider a trip to the ER. These symptoms can be classic signs of heart problems also. However, I have a tooth abscess being treated right now and before it actually abscessed and swelled up around the tooth I had the same symptom. I couldnt pin point what was causing that radiating pain until the tooth swelled and abscessed.
Reply:Sounds like you need to go back to the dentist. Depending on if you have swelling in the area there are numerous things dealing with jaw pain. Osteomyelitis, actinomycosis, abcesses, recurrent carries, or root canals could be the diagnosis to name a few. You could have a blockage in your salivary glands as well. All of these sound scary but can be fixed by going to your dentist.

What can I do for the pain after teeth extraction?

I got two permanent teeth removed today and they hurt like crazy! I dont know why but it made the rest of my day depressing.





What can I take or do for the pain?





Im getting the other two bicuspids removed in two weeks but the dentist didnt give me anything for the pain.

What can I do for the pain after teeth extraction?
Take 600 - 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4 - 6 hours





Salt water rinses should not done until the day after extractions.
Reply:I like the combination of oral gel , alleve , and gargling with warm salt water. but next time remember to ask for something a little more potent.
Reply:Its unusual for the doctor not to give you anything for pain after an extraction. At the very least, he should have advised you as to what over the counter pain meds to use. But since he didn't, I would suggest that you get yourself a bottle of Advil Liquid-Gels and take the prescription strength of 600 mg. (3 gel caps) every 6 hours. Also rinse your mouth out with warm salty water as often as you need to. Make sure that the water is very salty.

Swollen gums, slight jaw pain...wisdom teeth or infection?

Sunday night my gums were slightly sore and became increasingly swollen since then. I also have a slight pain in a very tiny section of my jaw. Is this food in gums, an infection, or possibly wisdom teeth coming in? What is a quick fix solution to the swelling until i can get into the dentist?





I am going to the dentist Monday, since thats the next time they are open. I am 20 years old and just had a cleaning 2 months ago. Any help would be much appretiated.

Swollen gums, slight jaw pain...wisdom teeth or infection?
hmmm i believe it might be an infection had a friend with the same problem go get it checked out no problem and no worries girl
Reply:Its definitely an infection. Get it looked at. Who can tell you better than a dentist.
Reply:probably. take an ibuprofen, if you can, for now.
Reply:Rins with hydrogen peroxide 4 times daily and for at least


45 seconds
Reply:could be any of the above. just take some aspirin for the pain.
Reply:Hydrogen peroxide used as a mouth wash may help.
Reply:Could be any of the above. Oil of clove would help with the pain, especially if it is Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil.
Reply:Salt water rinse helps.

Feel better soon.
Reply:this same thing just happened to me and its actually both.. because your wisdom teeth ar starting to come in and have probably broken some skin which has inabled food to get trap and is causing an infection. Mine got so bad and I just kept trying to take advil and ignore it thinking it was just sore gums that when it got to the point where i couldn't stand it anymore that when i called and told an oral surgian what was going on, he told me to come in that day and removed my wisdom teeth. the dentist could just give you antibiotics for the infection but really the best thing to do is just go ahead and get those wisdom teeth pulled cause you could get another infection. As of waiting until monday- take about 4 advils you aren't going to overdose as long as you still wait 4 hours to take more. and dont let the medicine wear off. every for hours take more meds casue if it wears of you know its gonna be hurtin still! also just load up on the ambisall.


oh and rinse with luke warm salt water
Reply:Wisdom tooth! Looks like you may need a root canal! Good luck my friend!

Wisdom teeth pain abcess?

I have one wisdom tooth which has broken through, with no issues.





However I think another wisdom ttoth is now pushing but from memory a I think it may have been crooked.





I think I may have a abcess, a patch of my gum is all soft and squishy and very painful if I push it.





The whole area feels a bit tender and swollen.





Any ideas or suggestions? Its Sunday morning here and so I can't get to a Dentist til at least tomorrow

Wisdom teeth pain abcess?
Sometimes a partially erupted wisdom tooth can have a loose flap of gum around it. Food/debris can become lodged under this flap and get infected. This is called pericoronitis. The treatment is cleaning out the area , irrigating it with an antimicrobial solution and taking antibiotics. Call your dentist! Meanwhile irrigating with warm salt water might help. It is frequently suggested that 3rd molars that suffer from pericoronitis be extracted after the infection has subsided.
Reply:It will be tender and swollen from trying to push through the surface of your gum. It may not mean you have an abcess. The best thing for it is to rinse with warm salt water and use oral gel to numb the pain and take a couple ibprophen. All this will make it feel better. I have a wisdom tooth that "appears" from time to time and it feels the same, but it goes back under and there isnt a problem. Just keep it clean and use the sallt water.

If your sinusses get blocked ( did you have a cold recently / hayfever) the cabin pressure can give this pain.

How can I stop the pain of teeth growing in?

I'm at my aunt's house till septeber-and my baby chew toys are back at my house-or else I'd be chewing on thoose....


I'm starting to grow my adult teeth in and the pain has hurt the whole side of my mouth...


It's either my adult teeth or my wisdoms need to be plucked...I havn't lost all of my baby teeth yet......


Anyways-i thikn were out of carrots, and chewing on my finger hurts...


It jsut started comeing out, and it's jsut now breaking my gum...Hurts-And tastes a tad bit like blood, but tissue dosen't have any blood on it...


(If this tells you anything- I was foaming the other day due to not drinking anought water)

How can I stop the pain of teeth growing in?
While I was pregnant, I had a wisdom tooth coming in and I couldn't take tylenol or anything like that. My doctor suggested putting a little spicy mustard where the pain was. It actually worked. I dont promise it will go away completely, but it'll feel much better.
Reply:consult the dentist!
Reply:call your dentist at home, see if he can get you a pain reliever until you get back so you can see him. Those wisdoms are painful. They could be growing against the roots of your other teeth and if you dont see a dentist, it could pull out more teeth than necessary!
Reply:Motrin I.B.
Reply:Try some Advil or Ibprofen
Reply:There are some over the counter analgysics (sp?) that are stronger than advil. I had a bad tooth while preggo and I froze washclothes and chewed on them. That froze it a little bit. My sister also tried the liquigel advils and breaking one open over the area and she swore by it!
