What Causes Extreme Pain In Left Side Of The Mouth?

I have broken front teeth and inflamed gums. Seen my dentist, need to consult with oral surgeon

but because of holidays waited. Tonite, in extreme pain on left side of mouth both top and lower

gums and teeth. I just started Diovan for high blood pressure and can't take Advil just Tylenol.

Haven't yet, don't know if that will help with pain level. Put Orajel on gums, didn't help.

Will call my dentist Tuesday morning...Need to get through the night. Any suggestions why

the pain is so wide spread and not just one tooth.

Hello Dear,
Gone through your query in detail, most probably there is acute irreversible pulpitis in one of the tooth on left side and the pain is radiating throughout the left side of the jaw.
• Since tylenol is very mild analgesic, it may not withstand pain of such high degree. For Immediate relief you can take 2 tablets of ketorol-DT (contains ketorolac) instantly if not allergic to it.

Consult your dentist for the further complete treatment.

Hope this helps you

Thank You
Take Care
