What Causes Discoloration Of Tooth With Tingling Sensation?

I have tooth that as been dead for well over a year. My children come first so they get their heath benifits first and I have not see a dentist in about 7 months and the tooth has been dead for about three years min years (Black in color) this disgusts me as I went religiously for the the first 39 years. I feel of a roof a few years ago and destroyed several teeth. This one is the upper rear molar and when I walk I suffer from a dizzy tingling feeling coming directly from that area going up to the left temple area. I have no insurance so it has been left. I have drained it twice once a whitish color , light green and a fair amount drained of it. My largest concer is the modert to severe pain, drainage and dixxines.

Hello,

I can understand your concern. As your tooth is dead, it has not created an infection and abscess which is draining pus. Tingling feeling and dizziness are usually not related with the tooth pain. However, if you are experiencing severe pain from the tooth, it may be the case.

I would recommend you to visit a dentist to get the treatment of the infected tooth. You might have to get root canal treatment or extraction of the tooth depending on the extent of the infection and destruction of the tooth.

However, first I would advise you to visit a physician for tingling and dizziness you are experiencing as such problem might create complications during treatment of the infected tooth.

If you are in severe pain right now, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg or Ketorolac 10 mg up to three times a day.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
