Pain in my teeth

I have pain in my teeth in below what medicine required Pls suggest on priority basis due to this I unable to take food

Dental puss store in palate

I had a dental infection. My dentist drilled the tooth, drained the pus, and started antibiotics (Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid and Metronidazole) for 5 days. And warm salt water rinse in 5-6 times in day, The next day, swelling/pus appeared and seems to have collected in the palate. I have no fever now, and after 72 hours of antibiotics the fever has not returned, but the palate remains swollen and very painful, possibly due to trapped pus. The pus is not draining on its own.  Can the pus drain or be absorbed naturally with antibiotics, or does it usually require professional drainage? How many days can the palatal swelling and pain take to completely resolve?

Dental bridge sensitivity and dull pain

My 15-year-old dental bridge was replaced as the last abutment tooth had sensitivity. It has undergone RCT and the permanent bridge was fixed last Saturday. The last tooth in the dental bridge still has pain and sensitivity. The pain was unbearable on Monday so I took naproxen 250 mg on Monday. On Tuesday, I felt almost 95% better with no symptoms. Again yesterday the pain started and progressed throughout the day and towards the end of the day there was mild sensitivity as well. I took another naproxen 250 mg last night. And this morning the pain has reduced but the mild sensitivity continues. I'm seriously panicking. P.S: I am also afraid removing the permanent bridge again now will be impossible as the dentist used a bonding cement to seal it well. This whole ordeal has taken a great deal of toll on my mental health.

Dental bridge pain

I have had a dental bridge for 15 years replacing the last 3 teeth on the left side, as the middle tooth (molar) was extracted. It developed sensitivity a few weeks ago. No infection was shown on the X-rays, but my dentist performed an RCT on my last abutment tooth. Post-RCT, I still had mild sensitivity lasting for 2 days which turned into pain on the 3rd day. I took Keterol DT for the pain and the pain subsided and didn't return for the next week. So he took measurements and fitted my new bridge the day before yesterday, telling me I should feel no pain, but I keep having pain in the tooth where the RCT was done and it aggravates even when food or the opposite tooth touches that part of the bridge. I am seriously devastated and scared.

Tmd without pain but sound present

I accidentally had a retracting habit of jaw for a month in which I had swayed opening towards the opp side clicking on each opening (only on left )and tightness and spasms but now it's been 10 days since I've stopped it and the sway spasms tightness and pops have vanished. Now I only have some occasional opening pops which are dull but my main concern is that my left side feels uncoordinaated while chewing and it feels like the left side sinks when I clamp down though this sinking feeling itself has gone down by a lot and now I can naturally hold my normal centered position. Also the symptom I fear is that somedays I wake up with a jaw that catches when I open. I am able to prevent this by sleeping mindfully on my right side. I have no pain whatsoever and opening is unrestricted and clcikings are only present infrequently while chewing. I am confused on what's going on with me please help. I visited a maxillofacial surgeon while retraction habit and told me not to worry
