Question:
I have a Tooth and it hurts like hell?
i have this tooth by the side of my top front teeth and it hurts like hell. i messed with it dismorning trying to put it back into place. But it wont stop hurting. I tried saltwater, helped for about 2 minutes. Tried ice, doesnt work. I just stuck my thumb nail into the back of it and it goes waaay down. I think its an adult. Its not very loose. It just started today. Theres a huge bump above my tooth going to the top of my mouth. Any Suggestions on what to do? I think its a baby still. Please help.
Answers:
You need a dental appointment.
Ice won't help, unless your face is swollen. If it's an abscess, either periodontal or apical, you need antibiotics asap before it spreads.
Since its Friday night, I guess you'll need an emergency visit. If there aren't any dental offices open, go to your local ER, then follow-up with a dentist.
Good Luck.
