I have a crazy toothache!! I can't tell what tooth it is but ALL my teeth hurt on the left side both top and

bottom. I don't have any cavities. I do have a bridge and a couple of crowns on the anchor teeth of course. I can take Ibupropen and get a little relief. I am waiting on an appt with my dentist...hopefully tomorrow. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause such widespread pain?

Wide spread tooth pain is often related to tooth clenching while asleep. Of course there are other reasons, but usually the pain is more localized


Good luck

Reply:When I had an impacted wisdom tooth, it made my whole jaw sore. It got infected and was possibly the worst pain I've ever experienced. Get an emergency appt. with your dentist right away, they can most likely take a couple of xrays to figure out what it is, and if it is impacted, they will send you home with a prescription and an appointment to have it extracted. If you have all of your wisdom teeth out, then I don't have a clue what it could be...
Reply:Long time ago, I had a severe toothache (upper left side)and I was to board a plane for international travel. Only other symptom was a little headache. Family doctor concluded that the toothache was the result of sinus and cold allergy and the dentist I saw found nothing wrong where it was paining. I get very sleepy with those antihistamines, but had no choice, it sure did work.


You are doing the right thing trying to see the dentist. Hope he finds what is bothering you. But if all your teeth are healthy as you feel, then you can explore other possibilities.


Good luck and hope you feel better soon.
