How To Cure Swelling Of Vein In Cheek And Tooth Sensitivity?

Hi im 23 and 5''7 I weigh 11 stone 4.I have a swollen vein in my cheek and a few of my teeth feel sensitive if I touch them but I dont have toothache or an abcess. I can see my cheek is swollen from visibly looking in the mirror and also if i look directly in front of my I can see it at the corner of my eye. And it feels tight and swollen if I touch my cheek. I recently had an ear infection but that was the other side it was my right ear not my left.

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
You did not mention if you had any tobacco habits.This tight feeling and swelling can be due to this.Quit smoking and pan chewing habits if any.
Sensitivity when mild can be treated with desensitizing tooth pastes like colgate pro relief, or sensodyne.Apply it on the tooth you have sensitivity and leave it on for five minutes.Rinse it off and brush normally.Use it twice in the manner i explained.This swelling must be seriously looked upon.Get a clinical examination done.You must get a biopsy done if necessary.
In extreme cases of sensitivity, root canal must be done.
This cannot be related to your ear pain.
Regards.

Hello thanks for consulting at hcm...

on clenching your cheeks are swollen due to masseter hupertrophy....

you might also have sensitive teeth.. You may need desensitizing paste such as sensolin tooth paste..or it could also be due to salivary calculi in the salivary ducts..


for this you need occlusal radiographs amd ultra sound examination..

plz consult a oral physician...hope it helps...take care...
