I started getting tooth and jaw pain on Saturday.  It would be real bad and hn disapate.  Monday I went to he dentist nd I was told it didnt seem to be dental related and that it was prob sinus. Tuesday the pain was horrible so I went to my doctor.  She couldnt  find anything but luckily I had a fever so she gave me antibiotics.  Weds I was swollen as was a lymph node.... I could manage the pain w Tylenol but after 3 hours the pain would kick in.   Today is fri and I havent taken any actions.  Im in need of pain relief but thought I should stop the tylenol to see where I am at.   Pain is bad but no excruciating.  I feel it in my cheeks, gum,chin.  What should I do?  Wait till I finish the antibiotics and see if pain subsides?  Go back to the doctor?  Or the dentist?  I feel so helpless!
Hi.thanks for the query...I think your pain is of dental origin and is due to deep carious lesion that has not been identified by your dentist... you should go to him again for proper clinical examination and should also get an X-ray done... it will also show infection in periapical tissues also, if any... donor wait for the pain to subside... according to the situation, the tooth involved will be treated by your dentist...take care...
