My gums are swollen and jaw the tooth is throbbing and was bleeding earlier in the day. I can't bite down at all. I can barley eat anything without it hurting including drinking certain stuff. I don't know what to do.

Answer: Throbbing Sounds like an infected tooth to me. Could be from a lot of things -- dead or infected tooth pulp, gum infection from debris left from crown procedure or deep periodontal pocket. Get to the dentist.

Answer: Throbbing It sounds like you had the tooth prepared for a crown and have a temporary on?? When we do a crown or filling, we cut into the tooth which is a part of the body. So it is just like surgery...the body is going to react and you often will have some pain or discomfort for a few days.Warm salt water rinses can help calm the gums down; Ibuprofen or Alleve can help with the throbbing. If it is not better in another day, I would go back and see the dentist. It sounds like the temp may well have a high bite which can cause the tooth to remain sensitive and hurt to chew on. This can be adjusted and the tooth should be better each day. Some cold sensitivity is normal.
