Tooth hurts and it feels like pain is traveling to eye

Question

My tooth hurts and it feels like the pain is traveling straight up in a line to just below my eye. Its like if you draw a line on my face from the tooth to my eye that's where the pain occurs

Answer 1

Go to your dentist and you will probably need to have a root canal done on your canine ( eyetooth ).

Answer 2

both most likey connected to the same nerve ending....

Answer 3

get to your dentist....I have had 4 root canals done and it sounds like an inflamed nerve in the root of your tooth...the longer you wait the pain will get worse...the reason it hurts under your eye is some roots in the upper back teeth are long and rest just underneath the sinus under the eye.

Don't be afraid... the sooner you get to a dentist the sooner the pain goes away.

Answer 4

Sounds like a cavity or maybe a full blown abcess. If it hurts to the point where you have trouble sleeping, go see a dentist. Try to schedule ASAP with a regular dentist as the emergency dentists charge an arm and a leg.

Answer 5

What's the question? I guess it doesn't matter because the answer is: go to your dentist as soon as you can. toothaches have often been associated with headaches though. Are you sure it's your EYE? I don't know, have the tooth pulled or whatever needs to be done and your eye will be all better.

Answer 6

the upper row of teeth have nerve roots that come from a hole in the skull just beneath the eye.  you probably have a nerve pinched by a tooth.  see a dentist

Answer 7

it could be the jaw-- google TMJ and see if you have the symptoms. if the pain continues, you should really see a physician/dentist.
