What Causes Throbbing In Upper And Lower Gums And Teeth?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
HI:
For the past three days, at the end of a workout, my upper and lower teeth and gums start throbbing. This only happens on the right side, 2 teeth up from my wisdom teeth. I am 50, an endurance athlete, brush/floss/water pick regularly. Naproxin helps.

hanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the teeth could be because of the tooth infection or the gum infection.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these things and take a radiograph like IOPAR or RVG to confirm the diagnosis.
If it is gum or tooth infection You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days(if you are not allergic). After taking antibiotics you can get the tooth treated with RCT(if bone support is fine) for tooth infection.
if it is gum infection then get your teeth cleaned once and maintain the oral hygiene. If needed grafts can be placed to make the tooth firm.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
