Sore jaw toothache
Common Questions and Answers about Sore jaw toothache
sore
Hi,
My problem started last Tuesday (Today is Friday) with the most horrendous toothache I’ve ever suffered. This ache was in all the teeth on the right side top and bottom. I saw my dentist who said he could see no sign of infection but put me on penicillin. I explained that my lower jaw was also really sore. Over night however, I was extremely sick and on Wednesday the dentist changed my meds. On Thursday my face near my jaw really swelled but my teeth no longer hurt like they did.
Since late on Thursday night, I've been experiencing intermittent pain in my jaw around my upper molar area. The pain radiates from my ear to right above my upper molar. It, also, extends to my lower jaw on the same side. I have had an ongoing problem with sinus congestion, but as of late, it seems to have gotten much better. However, in the past couple of days, I've become congested, again. Could this have anything to do with what's going on?
It felt like the tooth was stabbing me in the jaw with a knife. The tooth and jaw both hurt, from the joint to the nose and went as high up as the cheek bone. The pain was so bad, I couldn't do anything but lie in bed. I tried pain medication, Oragel, and everything else people suggested. The only thing that helped, I discovered on Saturday, was ice (and not talking or eating).
i had a tempory filling do about 2 mouth ago and in the last week ive been in a lot of pain not being aball to sleep so webt to my dentist and they said that my fillin was still intack and didnt look like i had and infection as my teeth didnt hurt but they gave me 250mg of amoxicillin to take one three times a day for 5 days but on the second day i woke up wth sowen lower jaw and in a lot of pain with the tooth i had my fillen i have a constant pain in my jaw with a throbbing pain from my tooth
t be dangerous to my health? Does there have to be an absecess on the x ray to make a toothache dangerous? I was also wondering what I should do about it, the dentist said he'd have to put a crown on it next, but there's really no way I can afford that, especially when I have such little faith in that my pain would go away if he drilled it again. If I just got the stupid tooth pulled once and for all, would that put me out of my misery?
What makes you think its a TMJ flare up? What kind of symptoms are you experiencing?
I have constant ache and hypersensitivity to cold in my lower right jaw with attacks of increased pain throughout the day affecting the entire right side of my face with little tenderness in my neck under chin and back of jaw over the muscle. The pain does not last more than two weeks and occurs about every two months. It started as random attacks of sharp pain but on the second occurrence there was a more continued ache and the right side of my lip went numb.
so the title of the post pretty much speaks for itself. i'm a 40 year old woman who is terrified of doctors. so much so that i haven't seen one in well over a decade now. not a doctor, dentist, OBGYN, nothing. but i'm also incredibly fearful of anything health related. as an example, i have a toothache that almost brought me to my knees last night and most people would just run to the dentist and get things sorted out. with me, i am more scared of the dentist than i am the toothache.
then area around my left jaw joint area (below the ear) starts to feel uncomfortable especially every time i moved my jaw or open my mouth wide to eat something. i dont have toothache etc. then i start to have running nose and nose block. i went to see a GP, he say there is slight infection in the ear and nose. i was on medication for 6 days. the nose cleared slightly but i am still blowing my nose as its still slightly block.
I have a crown that has never fit properly, it is too fat. The tooth was mostly filling that the dentist removed and replaced with a pin and crown. I returned to the dentist that put it on at least 8 times he said it fits and I will get used to it. That was 4 years ago. Ever since then it has become tender in that area if I clench at night which I sometimes do. Yesterday and today I have noticed a lump under that tooth along my jawline that is sore.
She had been complaiining about a toothache and was sucking on an ice cube to combat the pain. I do not know if this is a generic 'toothache' or something to do with her gums. She kind of caught me by surprise.
Also, about ten days later,I have developed a highly unusual soreness around my neck and jaw where I believe the lymph nodes to be. I do not think this is psychological because I was not dwelling on my fears at the time.
If there point tenderness and pain on opening the mouth, your symptoms could be due to temporomandibular (TMJ) joint arthritis. This is the jaw joint and inflammation of this joint can cause pin on opening the mouth and tenderness on palpating behind the ear. If you have had a recent throat infection, it could also be due to lymph node enlargement. It could also be due to local causes like tooth infections, tooth abscess or periodontal disease.
The most common causes of toothache are dental cavity and gum disease .Bruxism can cause jaw tenderness and abnormalities in teeth. If you are not satisfied with your dentist’s opinion seeking a second opinion may be helpful. It is important to rule out any cavity or dental decay. Treatment will be specific based on the cause. Do write to me again on how you are doing.
Best luck and regards!
This might sound weird but are you sure its your tooth? There is a jaw pain that pregnant women can get, especially if you've had jaw displacement before. If you go to the dentist they can give you something for it.
I went to hospital with a really bad toothache cause my tooth broke and the Dr gave me clindamycln and now I am in the wost pain ever and my face and jaw is now swelled and is hard and I can't stand u to touch my face or anything it so bad and my lips r swelled and a blue color what do I do
Its me again, I hate bothering you. I have been having what seems to me as a "toothache" the last few days. I had this same toothache back in October 07, went to the dentist and took x-rays and said nothing was wrong with my teeth, but maybe I needed my upper wisdom tooth extracted. I never had it extracted because while he was examining me, he had his fingers on my jaw joint and I was opening and closing my mouth, my jaw popped real loud and the pain was gone almost instantly.
I have something similar. Toothache on left side and part of my jaw is numb. Turns out I need a root canal but have to wait till babies come. I am on antibiotics that are safe and induction date has been moved up.
I might suggest seeing your dentist to check and see whats going on. If anything he can assure you its nothing or give you antibiotics if it is.
Hi I'm 8+4 today. I'm having severe toothache from day b4 yesterday . It's my wisdom tooth ,left lower jaw n the tooth is totally decayed n extraction is the only thing to do.Dentist prescribed amoxicillin n paracetamol 650mg for the pain . Said that tooth extraction will be done only after delivery . But I'm in so much pain even after taking medicines. Is there no safe anesthesia that can be used on me during extraction ?
