Question 1

i had a cavity filled 8 months ago and my cheek under my eye is still a little swollen. he had to shoot pain killer in the back of my throat.  norm?

Accepted Answer

No: The most common infected tooth that causes cheek and eye swelling is the upper canines.  These teeth are not anesthetized with injections at the back of the throat.  Eight months is way to long to be waiting for an infection and swelling to go down.  See your dentist  immedietly.

Question 5

7 hrs ago had 2 cavities filled, given 3 shots for pain, still felt a lot of pain, throat really hurts, scratchy, coughing. weird taste in my mouth.

Accepted Answer

Multiple issues: I am glad you had the dental treatment done and am sorry you felt discomfort during the procedure, however this is not related to the throat issues or the weird taste. Those symptoms sound more like a viral infection (cold, flu...). If the fillings hurt please see  your dentist and for the throat please see your PCP or an ENT if it does not get better in 7-10 days.

2 separate issues: and should be treated separately. 1. See your GP for acid reflux. 2. See your DDS for TMJ and neck pain. TMJ symptoms can begin after a simple dental treatment and stress.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: chlamydia is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. If you performed oral sex on some one with chlamydia you can contract it. Your doctor will need to take a throat swab for culture or treat it presumptive if your partner is confirmed with chlamydia. In the mean time refrain from intercourse to avoid potential spread.
