please give me some advice im in pain?

Question

for a week now all of my top teeth have been so sore, i cant eat anything hard or chewy and i keep waking up in the night cos they hurt so much. i have healthy teeth usually so its not like i need fillings or anything. is it a possibility that this might be because of my wisdom teeth (which are pushing through a little bit) and should i go to the dentist?? (im 18)

Answer 1

Your wisdom teeth could be crowding the rest of your teeth, making them move slightly in your jaw. That would cause them to hurt (much like getting braces on your teeth). You better call your dentist.

Answer 2

When is the last time you saw a dentist? Good oral hygiene is important. The first thing anyone sees is a persons smile and teeth and how well you take care of them will depend on how well the rest of you stays.

You should see a dentist twice a year to get your teeth cleaned. When cleaning teeth the hygienist will scrap off the plaque build up between the roots of your teeth and gums. This build up will cause bleeding gums when you brush your teeth, receding gum lines and other problems if you don't get it done.

X-rays will show if you have cavities or impacted teeth. Sounds to me if all your teeth hurt, then you need to see a dentist. A beautiful smile will turn heads!

I had this happen to me a few months ago. It started with my top teeth, and worked it's way to the bottom. All my teeth were hurting - THROBBING! - unbearable pain. I was taking Tylenol constantly. And I would wake up in the night just like you are saying. I thought maybe my wisdom teeth were moving, and causing all the teeth to hurt, but that wasn't it.

I went to the Dentist, and he tapped on all my teeth, checked it all out. And it wasn't my teeth!! It was an infection of the lymph nodes. So he was able to give me an antibiotic that helped knock it out faster. So at least feel better that you won't need major dental surgery - but get that antibiotic. You are right - the pain is unbearable and my heart goes out to you.

Answer 4

If it is wisdom teeth pushing thru it does hurt it may be your mouth is to small to fit these new teeth and is putting pressure against the other teeth a dentist is the best to find out but you may try a product call anbesol its kind of like a liquid novacaine...good luck

Answer 5

Will probably be because of your wisdom teeth but you should definately go to your dentist for a check up. They are the only teeth you've got and you need to look after them.

Answer 6

Go to the dentist. And yes your wisdom teeth will cause pain to your entire mouth. For relief take some aspirin. Good luck and get to the dentist asap.

Answer 7

if you are losing sleep because of your teeth hurting you should go to the dentist. The dentist will be able to tell you best about what is going on and the denist knows your teeth. Good luck and feel better.

Answer 8

Yes go to the dentist. S/he will be able to tell you if it is your wisdom teeth, or if you have a sinus infection - that can make your teeth hurt, and is one of the first symptoms of a sinus infection. The sooner you go the better because if you need antibiotics, you need to get them soon or the infection will spread and make you more ill. Good luck!

Answer 9

very possible. Most girls have their wisdom teeth come in b4 guys. Mine came in at 17. You should definitly go see a dentist. And, meanwhile take some Tylenol for the pain. Good Luck!
