Really weird tooth pain

Question

i still have a few baby teeth left in the back of my mouth, and one of them recently started hurting today, after i bit a skittle i felt a pan that i hadn't felt before, so i figured the skittle did something

the tooth was a molar. now the area where the tooth and gum meet hurts when i chew, and pretty bad too

what happened and what should i do?

Answer 1

If I was you I'd go to the dentist, have them check it out, dude.

Answer 2

Skittles have always been known to explode in your mouth.  Unfortunately, they didn't mean that literally.

Answer 3

Surely you need a help of dentist. If the pain is not in tooth and is in gums you can just rinse with warm saline 3-4 times daily and floss the area properly so that any food lodgement will clear off. if the pain is in tooth dont waste your time go to a dentist.

Answer 4

The skittle has a lot of sugar. This sometimes causes you to feel a sort of electric shock around the gums. This can be a symptom of sensitive gums or inflamed gums. If it persists, have a dentist have a look since it may lead to gingivitis.

Answer 5

Sounds like the adult tooth underneath the baby tooth is getting ready to push the baby tooth out of its socket.  The skittle (aren't they great!) merely pushed an already loose tooth and caused pain.

The baby tooth could be tugging against live tissue still attached to it as you chew, and that will hurt plenty.

See a dentist, and get the rascal taken out.  Otherwise, it can take days or even weeks to naturally occur.

Answer 6

I have the same pain and it's not on one of my baby teeth. It hurts when I chew and it only hurts that one molar. I'm going to the dentist soon because the gums around the molar became swollen. I suggest you go to before it gets worse
