My tooth(teeth) really hurt, what could be the problem?

I%26#039;m not realy sure which teeth hurt, I just know the pain is on the right side of my mouth, on the top, in the back. I believe it%26#039;s second to last tooth.





I would go to the dentist, But I was just at the dentist two months and had an exray the day I had my wisom teeth extracted.


I think they would have seen something on the exray if I had a cavity or something worse forming...





It sometimes becomes REALLY painful, Usually when I eat or drink something cold or frozen, and when I eat or drink something sweet. Sometimes it%26#039;s not painful, just feels sore, but sometimes it%26#039;s very painful.


My sister says she felt the same way before she found out she needs a root canal, but a root canal is a bad thing and takes a long time for your tooth to become so rotten. I doubt my tooth or teeth could have become like that in just two months.





I am also a bit embarassed to go to the dentist again in such a short period of time.





What could it be, and what should I do to alleviate the pain and soreness?

You COULD have a cavity forming that just started. Also check up along the gumline. You may have been brushing just a little too hard and wore away a little bit of the gum so that part of the root is exposed. Since there isn%26#039;t any enamel on the root to protect it, cold and sweet - and pain - travel more quickly to the nerve. It can send you through the roof sometimes if something catches it the wrong way. Try a toothpaste designed for sensitivity (most commonly Sensodyne, but most companies have their versions out). Put a small amount on your finger and apply it directly to the spot that%26#039;s sensitive and leave it on for a little while before you brush. Since it is localized to the one area, you don%26#039;t have to use sensitivity toothpaste all over, but it won%26#039;t hurt. It should calm down after a few treatments, but could take a couple of months. If it%26#039;s too sensitive to use a toothbrush, try a Q-tip. If you are still concerned, see a dentist. They can use a desensitizing varnish or put a filling on that area. =)
Reply:Don%26#039;t be embarrassed to go to the dentist again. Sometimes a problem can develop very quickly. Dentists are used to that. If you ignore it, it will only get worse and become more of a problem.
Reply:Use some mouthwash and stay away from all types of sugars.
Reply:You should not wait. You probably have decay (cavity) in your tooth. The decay will never get better it will only get worse, so you should go see the dentist as soon as possible. If you notice that your teeth are very sensitive to hot/cold and you have pain with pressure or biting down you might have a cavity to the nerve of your tooth and will probably need a root canal. Go to the dentist asap before it gets worse.
Reply:A lot of times, generalized pain in maxillary (upper) teeth is due to the sinus cavity. The teeth roots are close to the sinus cavity and any inflammation due to allergies, cold, sinus infection, etc can affect the roots and in turn your teeth. If it doesn%26#039;t resolve after a couple of months with OTC sinus medication get it checked out with the dentist.
