My tooth is killing me

Question

one of my permanent teeth hurt really bad and it just hurts to talk or swallow. I normally brush my teeth every night and day but last night I was sick and to tired so I didn't and this morning I woke up with a really painful toothache. What could this be? Is it a cavity or what? I'm seeing my dentist tomorrow but I'm wondering why its so painful and what it is.

Answer 1

probably a cavity, i brush my teeth 2 times everyday. and i had 3 cavities and one was so bad they couln'dt fix it. it had to be pulled. but i didn't have any pain til about 6 months after i got it. i had had braces for 2 years though so they couldn't do x-rays

Answer 2

Seeing one of your other questions dealing with this. You have underlying health issues that are part of it. Not eating for almost a week at a time then denying you have an eating disorder (as seen in other question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?... ) could be hampering your bodies way of dealing with issues.

Answer 3

Ouch.  It could be a cavity.  Good thing you're seeing the dentist.  I need to do that sometime, but I'm trying to wait as long as possible to get all my wisdom teeth pulled.  Anyway, good luck.

Answer 4

Cavity, probably.

You'll find out tomorrow.

Good luck!
