Please, anyone!
I was brushing my teeth (mix of baking soda and water) like I do every night and suddenly my top left mouth just exploded with pain. It is the gums above the teeth, I'd say it spans about four teeth. It feels like when grease pops your arm, or you drink a too-hot coffee. It is very intense. Not sensitive to touch, no visible problems. The teeth themselves don't hurt, it's the gums. Biting does not hurt.
It's like a chemical burn feeling. My only instinct is that it feels nerve related (I have nerve pain in other body parts, so I know what it's like). But it came on SO instantaneously.
I just want to know if there is any guess or piece of advice as to what this is?
(PS I will start calling dentists tomorrow but I usually have to wait awhile to get in).
