What does it mean when your toot pain increases upon lying down at night?



Answers:
You probably have an abscess. This is almost diagnostic. If you have inflammation in an area, there is more blood flow to that area. If you place that same area lower than the rest of your body, there will be even more blood in the area. This makes the area start to throb. Think about it. If you sprain your ankle, you are supposed to sit or lie down and elevate your foot to keep the excess blood from accumulating there because it would cause throbbing. If you are passing out because your nervous system has prepared you for "fight or flight" by dilating all of your peripheral vessels, which deprives your brain of blood, you are supposed to lie down with your head lower than your body to restore blood flow to the brain.

If someone has an abscess and I have just started a root canal or if they are going on antibiotics for a few days before I remove the tooth, I tell them to sleep on an extra pillow to elevate their head. If that doesn't work, they can move to a recliner or the sofa so they can keep their head really elevated. This will minimize the blood flow to the area and therefore minimize the throbbing and pain.

You may be suffering from sinus problems which are worse whey you are in a prone position. The sinus area can affect the nerves of the teeth by placing pressure on them. See a professional and explain the situation.
