I can think of a few possibilities. It could be that your wisdom teeth are starting to come in - it is not uncommon for them to "come and go" over a few years. They will erupt through the gums, and then seem to receed. This can cause pain, and sometimes infection. I had problems with mine from about 15-21, and never ended up having to have them pulled. Another possibility may be a sinus infection. Sometimes, the roots of your teeth go into your sinus cavity, and when there is an infection in the sinus, it can cause your teeth to ache. That is generally how I know I am getting a sinus infection - when my teeth start to hurt. Your ears can also be affected through this process. If you have a doctor who will take your medical card, you may want to start there, and if the doctor is unable to find any issues, then move on to a dentist. Good luck!

It sounds like you might have an abscessed tooth (that would explain the swelling and the earache). That is an infection that needs to be taken care of asap, or it could get worse.

Yes take is serious, and get to a dentist, you could have an infection in your teeth that can move throughout your body, and can lead to serious complications. Tell a parent emidately.

Get to the dentist now you might be getting an infection. Go to the doctor and ask for an antibiotic. It will not pass.

It is not going to pass.It sounds like infection,you probably need antibiotics now.Have your Father take you to the E.R to get these and possibly painkillers.On your medical card if you have dental insurance there should be a number maybe on the back if you have any Q:s.Do not wait any longer!!Sounds like an abcess!!

Hi.
First of all when u go out,try yo wear a hat or a cap or something.Second,stop eating cold or hot food,or sweets and stop drinking cold or hot drinks!Start to eat/drink worm food/drinks.
Third but the first for me everytime when i have this problem...i take in my mouth a little wishky or vodka or something very strong,and i stay with the alchool in my mouth till i don`t fill nothing nothing...a few minutes.
And about ur earache...if ur at home and someone from ur familly smokes,ask him/her to give u a cigarette and put it in ur ear lighted,keap the cigarette in ur ear till it`s smoked.If u want more details u can ask me at oanacora@yahoo.com

Do you have your wisdom teeth yet?
If not they can really hurt trying to push in. And a lot of times you might not have enough room in your nouth for them, that's why a lot of people have to have them taken out.
Asimple xray will tell you if that's the problem.
Good Luck baby.. I hope it's as simple as that.

Could be a systemic infection. You need to get to a doctor.

Maybe your wisdom molars are coming in, crowding your other teeth.
