What Causes Pain In Left Side Lower And Upper Teeth?
My husbands left side lower and upper teeth are causing him considerable pain. He saw a dentist and had a x-ray done and no problems were detected. He did prescribe an antibiotic but the pain is still severe. I was wondering if a decrease in his lisinopril could cause that to occur.

Hello dear,
as u have told that no abnormal findings were detected clinically as well as in the x-ray. And I dont think so that the lisinopril has anything to do with it. If someone with same symptoms arrives in my clinic I mist ask few questions.
•Is there pain upon biting??
•Have your husband ecperienced any type of trauma on the left side of the face in recent days??
•Does he experience pain on opening the jaw?
•Is there also pain near the left ear on opening or closing the jaw?
•Is there any specific time (day or night) when he experiences more pain?
If i were the treating dentist, on the basis of your given informations I would advice these
•Try not to sleep from left side for few days.
• Do not chew from left side for few days.
• Give him tablet of tramadol-50mg diclofenac-75 mg (marketed as durapain) twice daily for 3 days.
If symptoms do not subside then you have to visit the dentist for a full jaw OPG-Xray to investigate further.
Hope this will help you
Thank You
