Common Questions and Answers about Tooth pain neck jaw
neck
Have you noticed a foul odor or taste emanating from the tooth socket? The lymph nodes in the your jaw or neck should also be enlarged if you are experiencing a dry socket. It seems to me that it is such an easy diagnosis they could not miss it.
I suggest that you consult with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. They are dental specialists who have not only completed 4 years of dental school, but have also completed at least four years of a surgical hospital residency.

I had a 2 fillings performed on an upper tooth on about a little over a month ago. Before I went in for the filling, I'd been having terrible tooth pain and had developed an abscess on the gum above that tooth. At the same time, I was experiencing a pressure/pulling sensation down my jaw, around my ear and down my neck. I was first given a round of antibiotics, and the pain, abscess and pressure/pulling sensation all went away.
Since early hours this morning ive had really bad Tooth and jaw pain then the pain went to the bottom of my jaw and the top of my head then it stopped then I had a bad jaw and earache then that stopped then I had a pain on the top bit of my nose to my head and so on, I got told that jaw pain in pregnancy but ive never met anyone who has had It, is this Normal it not becuse im in alot of pain and paracetamol never works!!
I have been taking antibiotics and pain killers and the severe pain has dulled down but my jaw and facial muscles all still ache terribly. It is really horrible, constant discomfort that makes me feel sick and depressed. I can't bear the thought of having this pain indefinitely. What could it be? Is it possible that it is related to the tooth infection, or do I need to learn to relax my jaw? It's driving me literally crazy.
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.
I have SLE Lupus so I have had symptoms I believe are related to that, arthritis, joint pain, fatigue to name a few. I originally went to see the ENT because I had swelling from my upper jaw down the side of my neck. I was pretty sure it was a tooth that had been capped the previously year since that's when it all started but wanted to rule out anything else. She said it was probably lupus related and suggested I get physical therapy.
You could have some problems in your cervical spine. I have herniated discs in my neck, which cause jaw pain, shoulder and upper back pain.
As far as the teeth, I have had a lot of root canals and extractions and sometimes the tooth bothers me for years before it goes away. You could try a periodontist and see if they see anything in the gum area.
We have different things in the front of our neck that can cause pain. The most common is muscle pain. There are both outer and inner muscles of the front of neck that can become strained. Poor posture or prolonged periods of holding the head in a certain position or even sleeping on it wrong could result in muscle strain. And obviously any type of traumatic event that leads to whiplash would cause muscle issues in the front of the neck.
Still no pain in the tooth or the one behind it; but severe pain in the jaw and ear and glands in the neck. The dentist wasn’t very optimistic about a root canal and said that was an option or having it pulled, I chose to have it pulled; but wasn’t sure which tooth needed pulled. She said the one that had a cracked filling; the tooth might have a crack in it.
s called) and when I went back he told me I had a really bad infection under the tooth in front of my bottom right wisdom tooth and it would need root canal treatment as the infection is really close to the jaw bone... I had no pain in that tooth but I thought back to a few months prior when I was having painful aches in my jaw, it felt like I couldn't open my mouth and so it made sense... Ok I said do it... but then he went ahead and removed the wisdom tooth behind the infected tooth...
But then after a few months I had extremely severe pain form between the tooth and my maxillary sinus on that side, and then pain back to my jaw, and below my jaw down my neck with swollen lymph nodes. Plus when I bite down that tooth and only that tooth hurts.
Well, the dentist took new bite wing X-rays and didn't see an abscess or anything and gave me Amoxil which completely elminated the severe pain in 5 days...
s been having a reoccurring pain/swelling around the neck/jaw area (right hand side - around wisdom tooth but its not that). Sharp kind of pain that suddenly appears and is similar to nerves being trapped more or less. We have seen dentist, doctors and done x-rays, ultra sounds and so on but everything appears to be fine. It calms down with antibiotics but its no cure... Do you have any advice what could be causing this?
My 14 yr old daughter started with jaw pain over a week ago. Pain so bad she cried constantly. Now an abcess showed up on her second to last tooth on the gum. We took her to the dentist who would not touch her mouth until she did a round of amoxil for 10 days. we are on the 3rd day, and the pain has increased and the swelling of the left side of her face is deforming. swelling is now going under her jaw and into the neck. Is the antibotics not working?
They are the best in the field for what you are going through. I ended up with pain in my chin, neck, jaw and my arm started going number, I am still having little headaches also.
The prosthdontist is working with me on getting new crowns that will be done right.
Not all General Dentists are bad, but alot of them just do not know how to do Occlusal adjustments is what I am finding out.
My boyfriend has been having jaw pain for almost a year now, and it is now causing tooth sensitivity, and neck pain which is also causing facial numbness. He's seen 2 dentists, a physician and 2 chiropractors and all anyone has done is prescribed valium and prescription-strength ibuprofin, as well as a custom-fitted nightguard.
each time the pain comes on.) The pain has even moved down into my neck and shoulder. At times, my neck will stiffen and almost feel like it's having a spasm. (My cheek feels like this sometimes too)
The steroid seemed to help, the pain was way more manageable. Ice seems to help, and sometimes heat. The ibuprofen helps almost right away. But I don't want to keep taking so much ibuprofen.
I'm afraid that if I call my dentist, she'll just schedule me for a root canal right away.

t have a dentist I could just call to start antibiotics and am in extreme pain, even down into my neck and up from my cheek. I have a ping pong sized knot of swelling about the tooth, my jaw line and cheek. Is this something one could go to the ER for, or should I wait to see a dentist? Please advise..
The pain continued in my jaw, ear, above my left eye. Dentist and I decide to remove the tooth after 5 months of no relief. Still the pain continues. Now he's concerned that the tooth next to it may be a problem as well. Sending me back to the endodontist. I continue to have pain in my jaw, behind my ear (which is oozing fluid occassionaly) neck and above my left eye. Could the nerve that runs along the jaw have been damaged from the initial injection?
SOMETIMES THE PAIN SEEMED MORE LIKE MY JAW BONE, AND TOOTH PAIN. MY DENTIST CHECKED THE BITE, AND TOOK X-RAY. I WENT SEVERAL TIMES, AND HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I WAS REFERRED TO AN ENDODONTIST WHO BASICALLY DID THE SAME THING. HE SAID THE ROOT CANAL WAS OK (FROM X-RAY) AND IF PAIN CONTINUED, I NEEDED TO HAVE THE TOOTH PULLIED. IN NOVEMBER 2007, MY DENTIST PULLED THE TOOTH. IT WAS VERY LARGE AND BROKE IN SEVERAL PIECES. IT TOOK HIM OVER AN HOUR TO REMOVE THE TOOTH.
