Right at the end of my two middle teethe are swollen, at the top.This had been thee for quite some time now but Im not sure how far this infection has spread. It once had a yellow pimple above the left tooth but thats gone. The right side alone swells sometimes. Somehow I feel that this affects my nerve system. When I touch that area, u get a slight pain running straight to my scull. Could this also be leading to hair thinning? I thought it was natural losing hair but its quite fast now and not only from the head. What should I tell the doc before I go for a check up. How bad can a dead tooth/ root canal be than? I also experience some joints problem sometimes which takes a massive time to recover. The swelling just never stops. I tried some antibiotics and omegas but no avail.
Hello, Swelling in between two upper teeth can be due to-periodontal infection resulting in bone loss or due to deep dental caries involving pulp tissue. I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done. Tooth has to be either extracted or root canal treated depending on the condition of underlying tootChatDoctorplete course of metronidazole as well as analgesics has to be administered. Maintain oral hygiene well. Take care.
