I hope someone can help here! I have had pain in my r jaw constantly for a long time now. I visited the dentist who thought he felt a bump in or around my parotic gland. I had a ct that showed a tooth in the upper r antrum. Ok... But, they didn't say which tooth!. The pain in constant and worsens when I chew. Especially gum or something like that. When I bite down w/nothing in my mouth there is pain in my back teeth and into my jaw, like there is a stick stuck in there or something. Like biting into pressure. There is no swelling on the outside. There is pain when I stick my hands in there and try to "feel" it for myself. (i realize this doesn't help). It isn't in the "front" of my jaw. It is strictly the back r side. Thanks..
