Hi Doctor Hi A Very Aching Tooth An Am Afraid
Question: Hi doctor hi a very aching tooth an am afraid for a dentist it's been now a year I can't sleep at night my ear,neck,back they are pain full
Brief Answer:
Tooth infection, radiographs, root canal treatment, Disc displacement
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking. I have gone through your query.
The pain in the tooth and neck, ear and back can be because of the tooth infection secondary to a decayed tooth. Nothing to be panic, you should consult a dentist at the earliest and get a radiograph done (X-ray) to confirm the diagnosis. If the tooth is decayed then it has to be root canal treated.
The other possible cause can be a displaced disc in the jaw joint. Even in this condition you can get pain in the jaws, ear, and neck. So consult a dentist and get it evaluated first.
No need to get scared of dentists. Till you get the cause treated, the pain will not subside, unfortunately.
I hope to have answered your query.
If you have any queries feel free to reply me back.
Take care
