Toothache.?

Q: I have been having this pain in my gum/tooth area. It is the worst when I lie down. It is very sensitive to hot and cold. I think it might be in infection. I have tried vicodin, tylenol, Ibuprofen, nasal decongestants, orajel, and the only thing that takes the pain away is when I swish my mouth out with very cold water. But that only takes the pain away for about two minutes. I have not been able to sleep in three days because everytime I try to sleep, my tooth starts throbbing, and when I use cold water to help it, I can only fall asleep for a few minutes at a time, because the pain in my tooth wakes me up. I know it isnt a cavity, wisedom tooth, absessed tooth, or anything like that. This has happened once before but It went away after a couple hours. Does anyone know what this is, and what to do about it, besides going to the dentist. Does it sound like an infection. Will taking Amoxicillin help.

A: Amoxicillin will help for a short period of time and it is not solving your problem. You need to have a root canal or an extraction. Taking pain meds don’t help becasue there is an abscess or infection in the tooth and the abscess needs to be removed before you will feel any true relief. Call your dentist~
