I can chew, but not swallow because of tooth pain??!


Question: I'm having trouble eating or drinking anything because of severe pain in a tooth, but it's odd to me -- the pain doesn't come from chewing, or any direct contact with the tooth, it doesn't hurt one bit...However, when I swallow, or go to spit while brushing my teeth or using my mouth rinse, it feels as if that tooth is being ripped right out of my jaw, I mean it seriously hurts...I've had dental work in the past, I've had all sorts of dental problems, but NEVER a pain this horrible, I'm wondering if it could even be broken, I broke it in the past and didn't know about it...Any clue what could be causing the pain, and maybe what kind of treatment I can expect? I've had all sorts of dental work done, like I said, but I've never experienced pain like this, and especially not with this type of cause (swallowing and spitting)...

The pressure from the sucking on the roof of your mouth could be causing the pain eruption. Try using a straw & see if that helps any. It sounds like you have an infection rather than a tooth issue but it's possibly both. If you develop a fever I would be on the phone with the dentist for an emergency check up because very bad things could happen & an emergency room would not be able to help as well or as quickly. Good luck & feel better.

u need a root canal.....go to the dentist asap

its infected you need to see dentist right away antibiotics if you have any take them asprin helps best for tooth paine Take about four itll really help
