Can dental abscess cause severe pain in gums and headaches?
Patient: Hi, for the past couple months, my first premolar on my left side, has been giving me a lot of pain. I get headaches every now and then, the gum around that tooth is very itchy and sometimes I experience pain where my tooth and gum line meet. I don't see a cavity there. Could this be a tooth abscess? Doctor: Thanks for using Health Care Magic.Read your query.Pain in the tooth can cause referred headaches.Your tooth may be caried or there can be periodontal abscess.I would advice you to visit your local dentist and get it checked followed by a radiograph by which u will get a clear picture of your issue. For the pain you can take Ibuprofen Tab ( if you are not allergic to any medication). Do warm saline gargling.Thanks and warm regards.
