I am 36 years old and have periodically suffered with an ache above my left molar teeth.
On maybe 3/4 occasions over the last 10 years I have visited my dentist and he has said he thinks it could be sinus related so here’s some antibiotics and after 7 to 10 days the ache has gone. I never really new if the antibiotics “ did anything as I didn’t always visit the dentist.
About 6 months ago the ache was back and seemed to last for a good week before it started to then throb.
I visited the dentist, he said it looked ok so here is antibiotics and hopefully it will clear.
It did not clear and 3 weeks later it is still aching and sporadically throbbing, mainly in the afternoon but seem to be ok at bed time and lets me sleep.
I visited another dentist for a second opinion and he also could not see a problem.
I then went on holiday to Cyprus and spent the whole week with the ache which seemed to get worse again in the afternoon/evening when it again became a throbbing pain, especially around noisy entertainment.
I tried more antibiotics and the strongest painkillers I could buy and noticed no difference in the pain.
On returning to the uk my dentist re examined my x-rays and thought he could see a crack in the root of my molar.
He said no option but to pull the tooth which he did.
After a week of extraction pain the ache was back!
I have since been referred to the Liverpool dentistry hospital who took some basic x-rays but could not find an issue so I am now waiting on a ct scan to see if another tooth is cracked along with an mri to check for facial migraines/sinus issues.
I am currently trying a TMJ mouth splint and I have also tried countless nasal sprays and medications for potential sinus problems but nothing has touched this ache.
I am now also experiencing pain/twinges in other teeth I have had work on which is now causing me more discomfort.
Does anybody have any idea what is wrong with me?!
Thanks
