My very back tooth hurts and there is a little brown spot on it.?

Question

my very back tooth hurts on the left side of my mouth. and there is a little i guess indent in it(small as the end of a tooth pick) with a brown spot in it

its not sensitive to hot and cold. it just really hurts. the gums around it hurt the most. i thought something was stuck to i took a tooth pick and went around my tooth with it and it hurt when it went between the gum and the tooth. any reason this might be? and what can i do to make it stop. i have a dentist appt come up later next month but id really like to know what it is now.

Answer 1

call your dentist again for an earlier appointment - have them call you if there are cancellations. you likely have gum disease starting and likely a cavity.

Answer 2

try going to the dentist earlier.

Answer 3

it might be a deep cavity or maybe you might need a root canal hmm im not really sure. but there are a few ideas that it could be. sorry i didnt help much....

Answer 4

until you can obtain professional dental help. Gargle with some Oil of Oregano to keep down infections.

Answer 5

I would call and move up that dentist appointment to ASAP.  Sounds like you have a cavity that will only get worse.  You may also have something stuck between your tooth and gum which may be causing the inflamation.  This could become infected soon if you don't have the dentist look at it.  An infection left untreated could cause some major problems.  Call today.

Answer 6

Im concerned on why you asked this. I mean if it bothers you so much go to a dentist.
