Seeing an ENT is advised.
I need to ask this. first i have an appointment with an ENT tomorrow. but today my tooth hurt so i put ice on my face it relived it some what then i tooka q tip and put ambesol on the tooth that i thought was causing the pain when i touched the outer top part of the tooth that is right by the gum i almost went through the roof it sent such a shock like sensation through me and now it is huring even worse. Does that sound like sinus i am more inclined that i have a bad tooth. Thank you i am tired of just haveing pain while waiting for dr and dentist apt. and its the holidays so no one is in very long.. Thank you
Not all toothaches are odontogenous. Your desrcriptions suggest non-odontogenous toothache. There are muscular toothache, sinus toothache, neuropathic toothache, cardiac toothache, and neurovascular toothache. If ENT can not identify sinus pathology , seeing an orofacial pain specialist to investigate the source of pain is warranted.
