Dr. Stanislav Moline answered:Symptoms (feeling) of abscessed tooth may be all or some of the following:
- Feeling pressure in the tooth/teeth
- Pain/discomfort when chewing
- Feeling swelling near the tooth and lymph nodes (the latter usually for lower teeth)
- Feeling that the tooth is moving (pushing out)
- Possible temperature, headache
- Bad taste in the mouth
- Pain relieved by cold
Keep in mind that all the above symptoms may be symptoms of other problem, some of which are unrelated to teeth. A proper evaluation by endodontist (a root canal specialist) is the best way to confirm diagnosis.
