Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me.
Age 25 I have 4 partially impacted wisdom teeth, and up until recently they have never caused me any problems (don't even know if thats the problem now to be honest). A few weeks ago I started to get a dull toothache in my 2nd/3rd upper left molar, and within the course of about an hour it went from a dull toothache to quite a bad pain when biting down, and eventually ended up as awful rebound pain and I couldn't open my jaw properly. The next day it was gone. This has happened twice more since then, and follows the same pattern - dull toothache, pain on biting, rebound pain and can't open mouth properly. Pain is then gone by the following morning.
The pain seems to be mainly in my second molar, and also at the side of the tooth/back of the gums. I booked a dentist appointment a few days ago but they can't see me until Jan 11th, so I keep getting myself worked up about what it might be. I think because it's on my mind I keep 'feeling' other problems that aren't really there. I just want to see the dentist and get it sorted, but because I don't know what it is my brain is going into overtime and it's starting to make me very miserable and very irritable.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas about what it might be? Generally my oral health is fairly good, 2 fillings from 12-15 years ago when I went through a phase of not wanting to brush my teeth, and one tiny filling from after a fairly recent (10 month ago) pregnancy. Brush twice a day, try to mouthwash another time of day, and floss/interdental brush most days.
Please help if you can?
