Question 1

tooth only hurts when i lay down?

Accepted Answer

Tooth: If your tooth hurts when you lay down you should set up an appointment with a tooth doctor.
I see a tooth doctor annually and I am sure the dentist will give you good care.

Question 2

it's weird but when i lay down my front tooth hurts really bad , but it doesn't hurt when i'm sitting up. it also doesn't hurt when i chew. help ?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: I think it is a transient event that will resolve on its own.
However, see your dentist to rule out any irreversible chronic tooth pathology.

Question 3

tooth pain at night when i lay down?

Accepted Answer

Root canal: Oftentimes this is the result of an infection in the tooth. Sleep on 2-3 pillows to raise your head until you have a chance to visit a root canal doc ( endodontist) to have it evaluated.

Question 4

my upper tooth hurts when i bite down. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Many issues can: Cause this symptom. Infection in the tooth or the gums could be the issue. Your bite can also be partly responsible. Sounds like you should get a dental exam for evaluation and ideas on what to do to correct your problem.  Good luck!

Question 5

what can i do if my tooth hurts really bad when i i bite down and i don't know what it is, a cavity maybe?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Possible causes include:  cracked tooth, infection, periodontal disease and possibly decay.  Without seeing a dental professional difficult to say.

Question 6

my tooth hurts when im upside down or bend down. what can be causing the pain? i had a root canal done on same tooth about 3 years ago.

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: Yes, those are classic symptoms of a sinus infection. However if that tooth is a lower tooth it may be getting reinfected. Either way you should see a dentist or doctor to confirm or rule out a sinus infection.

Question 7

my tooth hurts whenever i do exercise like jumo up and down. it never hurts when i eat or drink cold stuff. can you please tell me what it is?

Accepted Answer

Jaw clenching: People subconsciously grit their teeth, clench their jaw and even snap the jaw open and close as they run. This will all cause dental pain especially if there is some infection brewing already. You want to see a dentist to check that out. If there is infection,you get treated and if none found,the dentist can make suggestions as to what can relieve this

Question 8

i bit down on something cold and now my tooth hurts and it look bruised near the top by the gum yesterday i couldnot touch the tooth?

Accepted Answer

Eval by dentist: It is possible that you may have bruise the periodontal ligament around the tooth or if it was something very hard that you bit on, you may have possibly fractured the tooth. Have a dentist evaluate the tooth if symptoms persist this week.

Question 9

i got a filling today and my tooth hurts to bite down and overall sensitive to touch by food or other teeth bite in general. how long does it last as i can't really eat.. is it normal any recommendations things to eat etc..?

Accepted Answer

: Teeth are sometimes sensitive for a short while after a new restoration, especially if the new restoration was deep. In addition, the bite may be a touch high which will also cause your symptoms. Have your dentist take a look.

Question 10

my tooth broke in half down the middle. gum has been sore and swollen. actual gum right over tooth hurts when i chew hard or firm things?

Accepted Answer

Vertical Fracture: If the tooth has broken as you described, it is most likely hopeless and needs to be extracted immediately. Call a dentist at once to make an appointment and avoid a slow, painful process of swelling, pain, and infection. In the end, the tooth will still need to be removed. In case it is restorable, the sooner you go the better your chances of saving it.
