Suggest Remedy For Pain In Upper And Lower Canine Teeth
I have pain in my upper and lower canine teeth on the left side of my mouth for the past 5 days, I saw an emergancy NHS dentist and he summerised the pain is being caused by my top left wisdom tooth or molar i cannot exactly recall he fixed the teeth that could been causing the pain, but the pain remains in the 2 canine teeth. I waited a day to see if the pain would stop however it has not I made another appointment with NHS emergancy service they got me a visit to another dentist who coudnt see anything else wrong that could be casuing the pain. The only thing he could is clean my teeth. The only thing that seems to relive the pain temporary is cold water or cold enviorement. I tried Paracetamol and Ibuprofane but they have no effect.

Hello,
Does your pain increase if you try to chew from that side? Do you have pain while eating sweet food or hot food? I would suggest you to get a full mouth x ray done of your mouth that is OPG to rule out the root cause of the pain. The pain in canine region could be because of wisdom tooth or could be cracked tooth syndrome or any other cause which can be made out in the OPG. In any case intentional root canal treatment might be required. Visit an Endodontist once you get the OPG done.
Hope I have helped you. Wish you speedy recovery.

Dr. Dhwani Mishra

Seeing your query it feels you may have cracked tooth syndrome w.r.t to your canines or there can be occlusion related problems. (In this there is hairline fracture of teeth which is not easily detectable in radiographs) If your pain persist than a root canal may be required for them. Just Wait and watch for few days if it still persist than that’s the only solution for crack tooth syndrome is getting root canal done and if its related to your occlusion than slight occlusion grinding could help you.
