Loose fillings.

My husband had a tooth infection. You would be experiencing SEVERE PAIN. Sometimes (not all the times) the gum area would be red. For a long time my husband had the tooth pain without the redness (so he assumed it wasn't too bad). He had it checked and it was in fact an infection.The only way to know for sure is to see a dentist or call an dentist for a phone consultation and tell them your symptoms. My husband had to go to an emergency dental clinic.For now, I would take ibuprofen and advil for pain, that's the only thing that would help him. 3 or 4 tablets. Hope you find relief.

It can be all of what was listed above- and if the infection is severe- you will see pus coming from below the gumline. Get to the dentist immediately in any case. These infections can spread to other parts of the body and are severe.
