So last week I went to the dentist and got a cavity taken care of and now all of a sudden out of no where last night ONLY when I lay down I have a new tooth pain. It is in the upper part of my mouth and my tooth ONLY hurts when I lay down.........OMG this better be taken care of before vacation because I can tell you the pain was so bad last night I could hardley sleep....
Im waiting for my dentist to open at 9 and hopefully I can get in ASAP...
Wish me luck......
I really hope its something small, I did a little research and it could be an infection, but luckily a rx of antibiotics should help. I read that when you lie down it causes more blood to reach your head, and because there is inflammation, it causes the pain. I ABSOULTELY feel for you!!

If you can't get in try a heat pack or cold compress on the area & ibuprofen to help with inflammation.
