How Can Tooth Ache And Tight Sensation In The Neck Be Treated?

My teeth are achy. Top molar area on both sides and bottom left molar area. My neck feels tight, my jaw feels tight, no way can I eat a frozen dessert it zings my whole head, but not immediately takes a few minutes. Drinks with ice are fine, as well as hot coffee. I have been to the dentist, I have received a fluoride treatment for sensitive teeth. I was just fitted with a tooth grinding device. Hope that helps. Any thoughts? Thank You

Hi Dear,

Tooth ache and tight sensation in the neck due to due to exposure of pulp which is leading to sensitivity and in return bacteremia and septicemia as chances of residual infection are there.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon once and get evaluated and get X-ray of concerned tooth done and start treatment accordingly as there are chances of infection below remnants of tooth roots. You can take Ibuprofen for pain symptoms and along with antibiotics such as Clonamox. Do gargle with antiseptic mouthwash. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
