Okay, I am freaking out. I have gone more than a year without a tooth issue but my bottom front teeth have been aching for the past week. It is constant and feels like when my front tooth had an abscess.
On Friday last week, I got what I thought was a mouth ulcer right at the root of my bottom front tooth. I didn’t think much of it, but my whole chin was sore and it hurt to eat or talk, but not unbearable.
The ulcer cleared up and is now just a white bubble, but is still tender and irritated. Usually a mouth ulcer lasts a few weeks for me. The bottom teeth are aching and sore. There is mild pain when I press on the tooth, but more of a constant aching.
This was how my front upper tooth started, but it had died over the years with no pain and had a huge abscess by the time it started hurting. I also had a childhood injury on that tooth.
My bottom tooth was not injured or chipped. I am terrified that it is another abscess. I go back to work in a little over a week.
Does this look like it could be from an abscess or just a mouth ulcer? Can a healing mouth ulcer cause the tooth to ache? Usually ulcers are not raised like a bubble for me and they turn red when healing, not white.
I have an appointment at the dentist but not until next Wednesday. That was the earliest they could get me in.
