I have had a reoccurring toothache in an upper right tooth and just over the last day the roof of my mouth is swollen and painful to touch. I went to the dentist several weeks ago and he said I had no problems with the tooth. Could this be a sinus infection?
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. As far as the pain in the tooth associated with swelling is concerned, it is because of the tooth or gum infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take a rdiograph like IOPAR to confirm the diagnosis. Once it is confirmed later it can be treated accordingly with root canal treatment or scaling. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope I have answered your query. Take care
