Swollen Cheek

Oh no! hope it's sorted now. I'm not a professional in this area, but I know that your teeth can play a part in getting infections in other parts of the body like the throat, ears etc. I've just had my wisdom teeth removed after having months of feeling crap with sore throat and constant dull headaches...It was my bottom wisdom tooth that kept getting infected, and I didn't realise how much of an impact this could have on the rest of my health!

Hi i know this was wrote last year but i seem to be having the same sort of problem as yourself and wanted to know if you managed to get your problme dealt with?

I am currently 37 weeks pregnnat and all throughout my pregnancy ive had a swollen right gland and cheek its never really caused me much bother or been painfull until quite recently to which i have been back and forth to the dentist.

I had 1 xray just on my two back right wisdom teeth and it just showed a possible infection as there was shadowing on the gum(this was then referd to the dental dept at my local hospital). I have been on amoxocillin, co-amoxiclav and now I am on metronindazole (all to be the lowest dose due to my pregnnacy) as the others didnt seemed to have worked. My xray was referd to my local hopsital and the dental dept there advised I need my last wisdom tooth taken out (on the right side) as its impacted. As im a wimp I dont want to be awake even tho I will be going through hours of child labour! so i will have to wait until he decides to come?

im asuming this is a dental problem? I have as my right cheek,jaw and glands are swollen but not entirly painfull just an uncomftable sensation and the only time it seems to cause me mither is when I rise my mouth out with salt water its not painfull its just quite irratating and also this wisdom tooth seems to be slightly irrated as well, its just causing me so much trouble as I dont know what it is ( this is why im frustrated) and I cant sleep that well as its so I just wanted to know if you managed to get your problem seen to and what was the outcome?

I have been back and forth to my doctor and my dentist and no one seems to think anything is worng with me? My normal dentist didnt not even see from my xray that my tooth was impacted. Hopefully before im due to have the tooth taken out they can do a full xray of my face as no one seems to want to investigate what is wrong with me?

I have also been to see few Gp's they did blood tests for mumps & glandular fever andy any other infectiosn to which all came back negative they all seem to think thats nothing wrong with me I even vistedn an ENT doctor to which he advised my gland didnt seem swollen I know my own body and can feel its slightly swollen an my dentist even confirmed there was an infection or possibly still an infection?
