Tooth ache that seems to be spreading to other locations.

I started to get a tooth ache, and due to money I haven't yet been able to go and get my self checked out at the dentist (I'm waiting to see if I've been succesful in applying for the HC2). It started simply enough, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen where fairly effective. It's been just over a week now.

It's begun to sprea, I now have a very pressurised headache near the temples, as well as mild earache that almost feels like blocked ears.

Does anyone have any idea as to what might be ailing me.

I strongly suspect I'm overly tired (cause of my headache and earahce) As it's been difficult to get to sleep with the tooth ache.

    whenever i have a tooth ache i like to gently floss between the tooth to open the gum up some and then rise mouth with salt water/ cayanne pepper, or carefully dab my finger in the cayanne pepper and hold it on the gum/tooth for a bit then rinse mouth out, usually it takes care of the pain within the hour.

      your other symptoms could be ear infection, sinuses problems which would cause pain in the temple, near jaw aswell as tooth ache or it could be the tooth ache is caused by an infection around the gum and it has spread to your jaw or something.

      also i might add if you try the cayanne pepper be careful as some people are more sensative to the heat than others.
