Does anyone know if you can have an abscess but there
is no swelling or gumboil around the tooth? I have sporadic
radiating pain that comes and goes but sometimes a mild
throb.this has been going on for maybe 3 weeks.Had an xray
but dentist did not mention anything.Also it appears that
that the side of my face near my left ear it feels sorta puffy.
Will I have to have a tooth pull or does it sound like I may
need a rooting and scaling? will this eventually go away
on its own it has been a week since cleaning... thanks e'one

you could have an abscess in the tooth itself which would cause you to swell
the denstist can do an xray and determine if its abscessed again. most dentist if comes to it will try to save the tooth (root canal)

You may be having heart problems or an infected ear, put 1 drop of alcohol in your ear, if you cn't tell a difference in a few hours then go to your Dr. please take your pulse and b/p if either are up go to er now

why dont you ask the dr who did the xray, he should inform you of everything he found and call back if he didnt as he owes you answers, do you have your wisdom teeth? are they comming in? are they in the wrong place? there are so may unanswered questions here.
