i was perfectly fine before my last cleaning, the DAY AFTER, my teeth hurt, which i thought, well, that can happen after a cleaning....but it got worse and felt like cavities, went back a month later and nothing found. two weeks later a huge sore appeared on the roof of my mouth, my ear hurt, jaw and upper neck was swollen, but the pain in my teeth went completely away after that sore appeared.
he suggested 2 things ,i still have a wisdom tooth that could of got a little disturbed from the cleaning and it has to come out on the left side where the pain and ear pain is, or from clenching my teeth i injured my jaw causing tmj! i am giving it 2 more weeks to heal on its own if it doesn't i am going to get an ex-ray and take it from there. this is one of those things that just happens with no explanation!
I also had fillings on the same jaw soon after as well. The gum pain worsened after 3 weeks from the initial deep cleaning and is now also in the jaw. However, initially after the deep cleaning the pain was reduced for a couple of days.
The dentist believes this is cause by night teeth grinding, but don't think so. The pain starts at night while I am still awake and becomes worse when I lay down.
thanks for ur response. after further research i have found out, x rays with abdominal shield or paranorma of jaw and teeth is allowed. there is usually no pain in cleanings but some cases in pregnancy it happens. my gums have been bleeding during the past 2 months but i had no pain. also fillings are allowed with local anesthesia not containing epinephrine. whitening is advised for post delivery.
My dentist say if there is no pain and my jaw is not bothering me than she said we can delay the surgery. But she also said surgery might be necessary because all of my wisdom teeth are coming out in a diagonal direction instead of surfacing straight, and there is no space in between teeth for all four wisdom teeth to fit in appropriately. As she said this will affect lining of other teeth and increase chances for food getting stuck and cavities, maybe infection (I am not sure she say that).
I had my wisdom teeth pulled and for months after that I could barely open my jaw and was in extreme pain. Since then it settled down & the tmj was bearable. Now I have been having some issues and was told I need a good cleaning by the dentist (i have major tarter buildup) and i need xrays as there are many visible cavities in my molars. I am afraid to have the cleaning done & the cavities filled as im afraid it will make my tmj worse!
my bite is still off but i dont have jaw pain. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE UNTIL I GOT MY TEETH CLEANED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this to me is unbelievable,i thought maybe she damaged my nerves doing something wrong? maybe the tools weren't clean or i picked up something? i have no idea,ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP WOULD BE SOOOOOO HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!i go back in a week to get x rayed he wanted to wait because he did not want to take to soon so the abcess would show!!!!!!!! i am just sick over this!!!!!!!
ve been experiencing severe tooth/jaw pain in my left jaw area. Back in October I had a cleaning and some xrays done, which showed nothing but an old amalgamate filling. The dentist replaced it with a composite filling, and all was fine. I had been experiencing some minor sensitivity on both sides to cold (sometimes) and sweets, but that's "normal", I guess.
That will help with any pain that might be in your gums from the cleaning and warm compresses on your jaw and neck will help with the muscle strain.
The red spots on your tongue can be caused by dry mouth. Having your mouth open for the length of cleaning time would dry out your tongue and irritate the papilla (taste buds) on it.
Good luck. All this will pass with some time. Don't forget to keep those teeth very clean now so the infection doesn't come back.
ALL of my teeth are sensative and aching, top and bottom. My jaw joint is incredibly painful as is the rest of my bottom jaw. All my stiches are still in place but I do get the occasional bad taste in my mouth from the extraction sites.
I have completed the course of antibiotics that I was prescribed after the surgery and the anti-inflamatories and panadine fort I was prescribed have done nothing more than make me feel ill. I have been cleaning my teeth and rinsing with salty water.
so im 15 years old, i went for the dentist for the first time to clean my teeth, everything went normal you know, little amount of blood and it was done, after i returned to my home i started to be painful, i know it should be painful but not as they way as i feel, i feel a rumble between my teeth happeneing in the lower jaw, the pressure between the teeth is so painful and i feel they are going to explode, just sayin, i have problems in the lower jaw as my teeth arent in a straight row+sometime
I had a similar experience once and the pain was so bad when chewing that I thought for sure my dentist was missing a cavity or fracture! My whole jaw on lower right side hurt even while eating soft foods. After all testing, bite tests, and xray revealed nothing, I was given a mouthguard to wear for several weeks as the dentist insisted I was probably clenching and grinding my teeth. I laughed and rebuffed such a suggestion or that grinding/clenching could cause this kind of pain.
Now, when i brush my teeth or touch, pucker my cheeks and lips, my lower gums ache. Its not the area near my teeth that hurt but by my lower jaw where my teeth are growing that it hurts. I read online that periodontits causes this but i'm not sure that this is what i have because my dentist said my teeth and gums were fine. Also when I open my mouth wide where my upper and lower jaws connect also hurts and kinda clicks.
You can get nerve pain from teeth extractions. There is another injury board where people post from dental injuries and one of the "common" ones is from wisdom teeth extraction. It appears the longer you wait the higher the risk of nerves being intertwined with the tooth.
Did the pain start shortly after the tooth extraction?
ve had a lot of dental work and change in bite can cause excruciating pain when trying to eat. Even a cleaning can make mouth and teeth hurt for over a week. My bet is there is an abscessed or cracked tooth and the vibration of the cleaning tool either loosened or aggravated an abscessed tooth and has been overlooked.
Bless you go going the extra mile for your girl. Meanwhile, keep up with the syringing - you're saving her life until you can see that second opinion.
