Toothache

[Bury the Trash]

The nerves in the head often serve several areas from one 'trunk' if you like, so what feels like a toothache could be a headache or something in your face etc, the bell is being rang from several locations all at once.

Stiff drink often relieves pain.

If it is coming from the jaw line it could be a nerve problem which is quite common , or it could be neuralgia which also causes a lot of pain from the jaw upwards towards the eye, I had that once and the pain was bad,luckily I got in at an emergengy dentist who prescribed me some anti biotics. It did ease it .

It seems to have sorted itself out for now, unsure what to do next!

If its sharp pain and comes and goes , probably a abscess . Don’t leave it too long. My dentist missed my problem and it turned into a sinus infection

Get booked in and sorted before even worse pain reoccurs. It really won't sort itself for long.

Mine comes & goes seems it starts when I come in from the cold into the warm house, reckon it gets to a nerve so must need a filling, the pain gradually gets better until I get cold again or even have a hot drink.

Just seen this thread glad to hear the pain has died back, when I read your op wondered if it really was toothache, read like it might have been sinusitis, have you had a cold?

If it's at the back of your mouth it could be a wisdom tooth trying to break through your gum, had one years ago (same sort of symptom) & the only thing the dentist said was keep bathing ( rinsing it) with salt water to soften the gum so it can come through easier, luckily it did the trick after a few days.
But don't talk to me about tooth aches have had one since the summer I think I have a cavity in the tooth as it seems to ease & comes back again, too frightened to see a dentist due to the the cost these days, but will need to see one very soon!! Nurofen does the trick for me when it starts to get too bad. Hope yours soon gets better.

@Gordy1 you might have to travel a bit for these, but NHS, affordable and not snotty about it - also rather good.

Have had cellulitis, chest infection and cold in the past 5 weeks, it's been a rough run

Sorry to hear that hope it didn't spoil Christmas to much.

The bone between your nose and cheek is hollow and infection can get in if you've got a "snotty" nose, feels like toothache in the side of your face from your jaw to eye socket.

Google sinusitis.

Cellulitis? That isn't good. Has the quack seen it?

 

[Gordy1]

It's Gone!!!! No toothache today!!!!

I get it off and on since an accident in 2005.

I see. It can be nasty, several cases I have seen we due to impeded circulation in a limb, worth being very wary of.

Yes I think that is my problem, it seems I lost veins in the accident and have quite a few varicose veins appearing in the last few years. Is there much I can do though to take care of it? I went to a support group once and never knew that as many moaners existed in this country so I never went back.

I am afraid that is well beyond my knowledge at this stage, I literally have no clue. It is not something I read much about in textbooks- I know about angioplasty and peripheral artery bypasses in any great detail as yet, but I would guess a vascular consultant would be the person to write to. Your GP might write to them and get them to take a look. I don't know why but cellulitis does seem to crop up where circulation is impaired, I guess it has something to do with the blood supply getting the components of your immune system to the lower layers of skin.

Bloody toothache has come back again this evening after about twelve days of relief!!!, taken three pain killers since 4:30 but hasn't done much good,........thought it had cured itself, it's no good will have to try & get into a dentist somehow

 

[Shovelhands]

I went to the dentist today, the words “I don’t think I’ve ever mixed this much filling material”, is not what you really want to hear when your in the dentist chair!

 

[Gordy1]

Hahahahaha, I think I'd better get to the builders merchant for a 1/2 cwt of filler then.
