Hello all! Like a lot of you I’m not a huge fan of the dentist. I hadn’t had dental insurance for a very long time and I just went to the dentist for the first time in years last year. I’ve never been diagnosed but I believe I have TMJ. I got a cleaning and xrays and a plan of action on my first visit.
Unfortunately I have a lot of cavities to fill (I think at least 8) I got 2 of them filled earlier this month, I had another appointment last week to get two more filled but I had to reschedule it for mid November. My wisdom teeth are all decayed and broken and I need to have them removed as well. I was actually going to ask about doing that at my next appointment.
About 3 days ago I started to feel a sharp discomfort in my neck/throat on the right side just under my jaw. In addition to that my right ear was feeling a bit “sharp” as if it needed to pop like I was on a plane. Behind it and in the canal is where I feel that most. It wasn’t horrible but not super comfortable. That has been coming and going. I also have some pain/discomfort in my right side wisdom tooth area top and bottom.
My upper area under my cheek bone has been sore on and off ever since I had my molar filled earlier this month. It does give me a bit of pain when chewing on the side. The right side of my neck (mostly just under my jaw on the side) is now slightly sore but I’m not having trouble breathing at all and I don’t have a fever. I’ve been trying to floss and use mouth wash to keep it all clean as I can. Should I call my dentist about this now or wait it out over the next 3 weeks? It’s been three days and it hasn’t necessarily gotten worse but it also hasn’t gotten better.
