Dear,
Pain while eating solid food on the left side below the teeth can have various causes:

2. Gum recession or periodontal disease
3. Cracked tooth
4. Dental work issues (filling, crown)
5. TMJ disorder
6. Sinus pressure
7. Infected or impacted wisdom tooth
Suggestions:
1. Dental checkup: Schedule an appointment with your dentist.
2. X-rays: To identify hidden issues.
3. Cleaning and polishing: Remove plaque and tartar.
4. Pain management: Over-the-counter pain relievers.
Questions for your dentist:
1. What's the likely cause?
2. Do I need a root canal or extraction?
3. Are there any signs of gum disease?
Self-care:
1. Soft food diet temporarily
2. Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods
3. Warm saltwater rinses
4. Gentle brushing and flossing
Book an appointment ASAP.

Dr. Pratikshit Anand

It is advisable to consult a nearby dentist and obtain an X-ray for a more accurate diagnosis. If you are experiencing severe pain, you may take a painkiller such as Acenac-SP. However, it is recommended to have a consultation before taking any medication.
