I have had a cold for the last week, with nasal congestion and the development of a middle ear infection. Last night I woke up with a throbbing pressure sensation in my back 3 molars and jaw. There's mostly no pain, just the occasional slight, dull ache. My teeth do not hurt when tapped with a metal spoon, nor is there any hot/cold sensitivity and there is no pain when I bite down. It actually feels good when I clench my teeth together because it counteracts against the pressure.I am taking Keflex antibiotic 500mg QID as well as Naproxen 250mg QID (starting last night to fight the inflammation of my sinuses).
Richard Lee DDS - Probably. Sinus problems can mimic tooth aches on the upper teeth and vice versa. Only way to know for sure is to have your dentist run some tests.
