What Causes Irritation In Right Upper Teeth?
Question: Now a days I am feeling a little irritation with my right upper teeth. All of a sudden I am feeling an ache like as if I eat frozen food. This pain is not continuous. It happens suddenly for some seconds and happening every 2 to 3 hours.
Brief Answer:
Tooth infection, gum infection, medication, root canal treatment
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain in the teeth is concerned, it can be because of the gum infection. The other possible cause can be a tooth infection secondary to decay.
Nothing to be panic, Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed as gum infection, you need to get the teeth cleaned.
If it is a tooth infection then the tooth has to be treated with root canal treatment.
I hope I have answered your query.if any queries are there, reply me back. Take care

Thanks for the suggestions. Can you let me know what you meant by 'If I am allergic' for using amoxicillin. How can I know if I am allergic to that?
Brief Answer:
allergic reaction to amoxicillin
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply.
Allergic to amoxicillin means, in some patients when the amoxicillin is taken it might result in allergic reactions like rashes over the skin, swelling over the face, lips and eye lids. This is very rare. If you have already taken amoxicillin previously then you can take directly. Otherwise you can consult a oral physician or a general physician and get a test dose of amoxicillin and later you can start taking amoxicillin if you do not develop any of the above mentioned symptoms.
