Hi I had a cavity in my molar tooth visible through an X ray taken by the dentist he did the freezing test and since I had sensation in the tooth did a filling. Next 3/4 days I experience some pain which he had told me to expect then it was all going great. Its been a little over 2 months now the same tooth has started to hurt quite badly need to take pain killers what could be the reason for this pain? and whats the solution? I have taken an appointment for Tues with my dentist but would still like to know. Thank you
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain in the tooth indicates infection, an infected tooth need to be root canal treated to save it permanently. There could be chances of reinfection of the tooth beneath the restoration, or the filling is placed close to the pulp tissue causing irritation to the pulp. Visit to the Dentist get a checkup done, take an x-ray of the tooth, depending upon which the treatment will be decided. As you have mentioned you cannot visit the Dentist right now, take tab augmenting 625 mg and tab diclofenac twice for three days. Maintain a good oral hygiene, use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily. Hope this helps out. Regards...
