What Causes Pain On Ridge Behind Upper Front Teeth?

hello,

my husband is having bad pain on the ridge behind his upper front teeth. The pain gets worse when eating. He says it almost feels as if his teeth were had shifted, or that the bone behind his front teeth is broken. He's had the pain for about a week now. Any ideas on what could be causing the pain? Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
Is there any history of trauma? i would suggest you to take your husband to an Oral Surgeon and get a checkup done take an x-ray of the region to give the correct picture of the region and to plan the treatment accordingly.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.

Take care!
