My two front lower teeth have been paining me for about two weeks now. The pain is so bad that I can’t bite with the teeth. Please let me know what to do. I am a 63-year-old politician.

Tooth ache in your age group can occur when the nerve in the root of your tooth or surrounding a tooth is irritated. This by extension can be due to infection, decay, injury, or loss of a tooth. Pain sometimes originates from other areas and radiates to the jaw, thus appearing to be tooth pain. The most common areas include, ear pain, sinuses, and even occasional heart problems. Also, bacteria growing inside your mouth can contribute to gum disease and dental decay, both of which can pain. A visit to a dentist who will give you a thorough examination in addition to some tests such as X-rays of the offending teeth will be the best way to handle the problem.
