Question:
I just had a bridge put in. I am having really bad pain in my lower jaw. It tastes like infection and a doctor said that it was an infection. When I went back to the dentist he said I had shingles of the mouth. Is it possible and if so how did I get it and what is it? And how do I treat it? Visitor from NC
Answer:
I don't know, but you should see your physician. Your dentist may be
diagnosing a late appearing herpes outbreak, which can happen at any time in
life, especially after a stressful event.
Talk to your doctor. You should be OK within 14 days, either way...unless you have a dental infection,which needs treatment immediately.
