When I have a toothache..?

Question

My gums under that tooth sort of grows a bump, it it's gone after a while. Is this normal?

Answer 1

See DENTIST ASAP!

Toothaches are a sign that there may be more to worry about then just a little pain. The causes of toothache are several but the major causes are, dental cavity, a cracked tooth, exposed tooth root, gum disease, disease of the jaw joint or spasms of the muscles used for chewing. It is possible for the cause of a toothache to originate from an entirely different problem such as heart attack or angina but this is quite rare. It can be noted however that some patients suffering angina will show toothache or jaw pain as the only symptoms so it is always best to let your dentist or doctor evaluate you.

Answer 2

Sounds like it could be an abcess or gumboil. You should probably try to get in to see a dentist when that happens so they can check it out. Sometimes they go away for a while, but if the problem causing it isn't taken care of it will be back, no doubt on a holiday weekend when you can't get in to see any dentist anyplace. Been there, done that. I haven't had to worry about toothaches for quite a while since I don't have real teeth anymore.

Answer 3

It could be a little more serious then a tooth ache, and I would go see a dentist. I encounter something similar because I have a broken tooth and it was affecting the root of the tooth.

Answer 4

That is an abscess. A tooth that gets an abscess needs medical attention.

Answer 5

its an abcesses go to the dentist
