My Teeth Were Hurting So Bad. I Have A Broken

Question: My teeth were hurting so bad. I have a broken tooth. I went to rub my head and I heard and felt something squishy. My teeth stopped hurting but now have really bad taste in my mouth
Brief Answer:
It can be a cyst in the mouth.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think that you probably had a cyst on the gum which may have burst causing the squishy feeling and bad taste in the mouth.
Also, the bursting of the cyst may have relieved the pressure and the pain.
Having a broken tooth doesn't mean that it will hurt or be infected that's why I was thinking it could have been something else like a cyst.
It would be advisable to upload a photo of the mouth in reports to see for possible lesions.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
