Had my teeth cleaned last Wednesday...having a problem with one tooth?!


Question:

Had my teeth cleaned last Wednesday...having a problem with one tooth?

This is kinda hard to explain.
I had my teeth cleaned last Wednesday. I was told that I have one cavity and I am going to have it filled this Wednesday.
The thing is I never had any pain with the tooth with the cavity prior to the cleaning. Now I have pain...not so much in the tooth but above it. Maybe the root because the pain radiates straight up to the point it I feel it up to the side of my nose. There is some swelling.
Any ideas what could be going on?
Also maybe some ideas on what could help with the paid. Taking Tylenol isnt cutting it.


Answers:

It could be an abcess, especially if it's swollen and as painful as you say it is. You need to call the dentist tomorrow because you may need an antibiotic.
