Question 1

excruciating tooth pain! help what could it be?

Accepted Answer

See Dentist: Take 1 regular Aspirin + 1 regular tylenol (acetaminophen) along with an antibiotic (like amoxicillin) and get to the dentist that can do extractions asap.  They may suggest a root canal treatment or an extraction.  However this infection that you have needs to be dealt with now or it will spread.

Question 2

can sinusitis cause tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are only 2 layers of cells separating your maxillary sinuses from your upper molar root tips. If you have sinusitis you may have sore feet. Sit down, lean forward and put your face between your knees. If pressure/pain noticeably increases, it's probably a sinus problem. If so, see your PCP or Urgent Care. If not, see your Dentist.

Question 3

is excedrin good for tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Excedrin: It can be used for all types of pain.

Question 4

why does bleaching cause tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Reasons: Teeth are made up of a hard outer layer(enamel) and a softer layer underneath (dentin). Dentin has nerves and when exposed becomes sensitive. Whitening temporarily makes the enamel more permeable and microscopically exposes the dentin. Also the trays used in whitening can put pressure on the teeth which can cause them to become sore.

Question 5

extraction tooth pain after 1 month?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: Please return to the General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that treated you. That practitioner is responsible for your post-surgical care. Hopefully this will not be difficult to resolve.

Question 6

when i eat sweet my lowet tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

See dentist: You more than likely have a cavity. You need to see a dentist who will do an exam and probably take an x-ray. If taken care of early enough, a filling will probably take care of the problem.

Question 7

can a pinched nerve cause tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

The right nerve: yes: While i'm not sure of the context of your question, a pinched tooth nerve will cause all sorts of tooth pain and sometimes numbness to a tooth. A common cause is a new filling or crown that is high; this can result in swelling around the tooth and "pinching" of the nerves.

Question 8

what is causing my 3 year old tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

3 year old&toothache: You should take your child to a dentist if you have not done already. Could be cavities or something other that can be treated. Hard to tell without seeing patient.

Question 9

will gabaphin antbiotic help for tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Gabapin (Gabapentin): Is a relatively new anticonvulsant and is not used for dental pain. See your dentist to eliminate any dental pain. It will not go away on its own, so it's important not to ignore the symptoms.

Question 10

how can i tell if my tooth pain is a cavity?

Accepted Answer

See the dentist: This is really the only way to find out.  You can't really see inside your mouth very well.  X-rays and a clinical exam with specialized instruments are needed to diagnose decay.
