I just got back from a 2.5 day (3 days, 2 nights) camping trip with my family.

After dinner on the 1st night, I started getting pain in one of my upper left teeth. I didn't think much of it, so I took some Advil and was able to cope through the 1st night.

However, when I woke up on the 2nd morning, I noticed the pain was back with tremendous force. Now it felt like I had 4 or 5 teeth that were ultra-sensitive.

Since we were in a state park, there weren't really many options for me. My mom and I drove to one of the on-site convenience stores and looked for some Orajel, but they didn't have anything like that.

I settled on just doubling up my Advil and eventually the pain numbed enough to be tolerable.

I'm back home now and just woke up because I was feeling overheated (sunburn).

I went to the bathroom to wash my face and winced as soon as I touched my face... my left cheek is noticeably swollen and super sensitive.

Does anyone know what's going on with my teeth?

Please, help! :(
