My teeth have been sensitive before, but nothing like this -- this is the worst tooth/jaw pain I have ever felt (aside from maybe right after the surgery, but that was more long-term, mostly lower grade pain, except right after expanding.)
This subsides within minutes, but hurts really, really bad (I think I said that already!). I like to think I'm not a wuss, but this is seriously painful (I can't do anything but sit and clutch my face, I feel a little woozy when it is "done.") The pain does nearly disappear when I just don't eat or drink or do much of anything, although it does seem to crop up when I talk sometimes.
I was fine this afternoon.
Any idea what this could be from? It's not one specific tooth -- I don't think, anyway -- but hurts anywhere on the left side from my canine or even lateral incisor back to my molars. My jaw even feels painful at times. Could it just be from the braces, or did the braces maybe stress something else? Can the need for six or seven root canals crop up at once? I hope I'm joking with that one.
I'll call my ortho or my dentist, but it is late Saturday/early Sunday (of course!) and I'd rather wait until Monday. But this is serious pain....and if I can't eat or drink anything, that's not good. I'm hoping it will disappear as quickly as it appeared.
Anyone ever have anything like this? Any ideas?
