I am a 32 years female with a severe tooth ache in my jaw which increases in the night. I know there seems to be a cavity in one of my tooth. What exactly needs to be done for me to get relief from my pain & what will the whole procedure be like ?? Thanks

Hello ,
The first and foremost thing that you need to do is to consult a good dentist, perhaps in the your near vicinity. You must have regular checkups every six months for prevention of such problems later on, this is an international protocol followed everywhere. Next, what I do get from your symptoms is that you have something’s known as a nerve exposure of a particular tooth (or sometimes set of teeth). The only treatment left to save teeth like these is Root Canal Treatment. Now it may sound a little scary to you (R.C.T) but believe me, with today’s innovations & advancements, R.C.T’s are just as painless as getting a deep filling done as the area will be made numb and you will not feel anything during the entire procedure.
After the R.C.T , a filling needs to be done for the decayed portion of the tooth & preferably restored fully with the support of a Crown which encircles the tooth from all the sides increasing the quality and life of the tooth. Although there are many factors which govern the success & failure of this treatment, but if one is following the right set of protocols along with the latest advanced equipments, the results are outstanding. You need to have a trust factor with the doctor and rest everything is taken care of. Good luck to you !!
