seriously, you have some kind of infection. Go to a doctor or dentist for some sort of anti-biotic and or filling. this could lead to far worse things like losing teeth, bells palsy etc...
feel better and good luck

You need a root canal and your tooth is abscessed hence the pus (which is the infection ) building up it has no where else to go. It will not get better on its own. I suggest calling around for the best prices and check out any dental schools if you are near one where you might be able to get dental service from a student-doctor.
I am a complete dental scaredy cat since a dentist gave me a filling but the shot did not take....i would rather give birth again. In the mean time make sure that you are trying to remain physically healthy with (omega 3's) it seemed to help me eventually pain relievers are not going to help you nor will ignoring it. Also...if the tooth is not in a significant place it should only cost about 60 to 70$ to just pull it plus the cost of antibiotics.Hope you get to feeling better good luck.

Well you could have TMJ which stands for.....(Something) Mandibular Jaw cuz my mom has it and every now and then she gets that same feeling, so get it checked out by a doctor AND dentist, and see if you need a tooth guard, they protect your teeth during the night because that is what causes TMJ. When you sleep, sometimes you clench your teeth and that causes pain. also it weakens your jaws subdueing you to MORE pain. So, check a medical dictionary or go to the library and look up TMJ. Also for more info email me @ kahlil_lover@hotmail.com
Hope this helps and makes you feel better, :)

You have a tooth that is most likely abscessed. when the abscess burst the infection drains out and it feels better. But it will continue to get abscessed until you get it fixed. It could only need a filling, however if you let it continue it could start infecting your jaw bone and then it would lead to surgery . You need to see a dentist now.

The abscess in that tooth can kill you. It is too close to your brain for your to gamble with infection in that area. You have to get the tooth pulled or else get it repaired.
No amount of education is going to be worth it when you are dead from the abscess.

I would just have the tooth pulled..and replaced later on, when you can afford a good implant..
a root canal is very expensive and usually the problem returns after time..

RAJ,
THIS IS A DENTAL ABCESS AND THE DECAY FROM IT CAUSES IT. THERE ARE ONLY 2 OPTIONS.
1.ROOT CANALAND A CROWN OR
2. EXTRACTION
SINCE $ IS THE ISSUE, CONSIDER A DENTAL SCHOOL AT A UNIVERSITY. AN EXTRACTION GENERALY COSTS BETWEEN $95 - $250, DEPENDING ON THE CASE.
