Extreme pain in teeth.
Hello and good evening.
For around the last four days I have been having extreme pain in my teeth and the nature of the pain is mostly a mix of sharp, shooting, pulling and burning sensations, its been so troubling that I have been severely sleep deprived because the pain is very intense, it does fade for a while only to return back randomly, I took divon-plus tablet multiple times as recommended to me but it mostly had no effect at all, ( also the pain / sensation is concentrated in the upper and lower teeth on the left side of my mouth, from outside no tooth looks decayed) unfortunately I have a different health issue and I cannot immediately go to dentist in person at the moment, that is what is holding me back, yesterday I also had a fever for about two hours and it went away on its own but I am super concerned if this can lead to potential life threatening problems if there is an infection and it spreads. Kindly suggest me what I can do. Thanks a lot.

Dear Patient,
Thank you for sharing your concerns about the extreme pain in your teeth and the associated symptoms. The type of pain you describe, including sharp, shooting, pulling, and burning sensations, can be indicative of several dental issues, such as:
1. **Dental Abscess**: An infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth can cause severe pain and fever.
2. **Nerve Inflammation**: Inflammation of the dental pulp (pulpitis) can cause intense pain.
3. **Sinus Infection**: Sometimes, sinus infections can cause referred pain in the upper teeth.
Given the severity of your pain and the presence of fever, it is crucial to address this issue promptly to prevent potential complications, such as the spread of infection.
Here are some general recommendations:
1. **Pain Management**: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage the pain. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or teeth as it can cause tissue damage.
2. **Oral Hygiene**: Maintain good oral hygiene by gently brushing and rinsing with warm salt water to reduce bacteria and soothe the area.
3. **Antibiotics**: If there is an infection, antibiotics may be necessary. However, these should only be taken if prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Given your current health constraints, I strongly recommend a teleconsultation to assess your condition and provide appropriate guidance. Please feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two to discuss your symptoms further or to book an appointment.
Take care,
