I have an abscesses tooth-I saw an endodontist who said there was too much infection to complete a root canal, so he gave me an antibiotic and told me to come back in 10 days. My teeth are killing me on that side, and my whole face feels numb and tingling.

if root canal cant be done. ask your dentist to extract the tooth and place an implant immediatly or to go in for fixed partial denture after adequate healing

ASK HIM TO PLACE CALCIUM HYDROXIDE INSIDE THE CANAL , KEEP HIM OPEN LET THE INFECTION COMES OUT, TAKE ETORICOXIB 60 MG ONCE DAILY ALONG WITH PRESCRIBED ANTIBIOTICS

1. If the abscess is fluctuant (i.e. not firm) then ask your dentist to give an intr-oral incision so that the pus can be drained out.
2. Ask him to open the root canals of that tooth and give open dressing with intra-canal medicament. This will reduce the pain.
3. You have to take antibiotics and pain killers for a period of minimum 3 days.
4. Once the pain subsides, you can undergo root canal treatment of that tooth.

Doctor's Answer

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 somethingâ€™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 i ...

My left wisdom tooth has been growing in side ways, but has not been able to come in fully. It started hurting about two days ago. I did not think anything of it and thought it was just growing in more. There was a flap of skin/gum covering part of the tooth. When I went to brush my teeth this morning, I noticed that part of it (underneath where the skin covered before) was now a blackish color. I got a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes only on the left side of my throat around the same time my tooth started hurting. Are these related? I have a dentist appointment in a week. Is there anything I can do to help it to make it better or ease the pain? It hurts to chew on that side of my mouth and it hurts when I swallow. Will my tooth be okay until I get to the dentist and what will be done by the dentist? Do you think my tooth is infected? Will I have to take antibiotics?
