Other symptoms related to dental pain

Depending on the cause of the dental pain, additional oral symptoms may appear that are related to dental pain. These include:

  • Sensitivity to certain stimuli (e.g., cold, heat, chewing, air)
  • Loose teeth
  • Red, swollen gums
  • Bleeding gums
  • Receding gums
  • Cracking sound when jaw opens
  • Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
  • Foul-tasting discharge
  • Pus near the source of the pain
  • Halitosis
Symptoms in other areas of the body may occur along with dental pain. These include headaches, fever and difficulty breathing or swallowing. Patients who experience dental pain should consult their dentist or physician. If breathing or swallowing problems occur, patients should seek immediate medical attention.
