It started with a severe toothache?!
Question: for about a week then the pain moved into my gum then it went away for a while and now it's back in my gum
i have been using mouthwash brushing and flossing
anyone know what this could be?
at first I thought I might need a root canal but now I don't think so
thanks for the help

Ohh it's sounding like you need a root canal to me....You need to go to the dentist and get an x-ray of that tooth and root area. You probably have a nasty abscess going on there. Do you notice any odor? or a "bump" by the gum? (low toward the root) that would be a pustule if you do - it would be full of puss and infection.
Very important to get it checked out - There is very heavy blood flow in the mouth - and the chance of infection traveling from there to the heart or other parts of your body can be high. You'll need antibiotics if there is an infection, and most likely a root canal if you would like to save the tooth. (which I recommend!)
to me it sounds like you have an absest tooth and or an infection in your gums,,I suggest making a dentist apt.Until you can do this take some extra strength Tylenol and rub some orejel on the area for the pain.

Clove oil:Is great to use for toothaches. Apply a little on the affected tooth for some time and then rinse with warm water. Boil 5 grams of fresh peppermint in 1 cup water with a little salt. And rinse mouth well with this .Peppermint is an antiseptic and contains menthol which relives pain .Try out http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/ for more details.
