What could be done to manage pain due to broken filling?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I broke a filling and had persistent tooth pain that did not allow me to sleep. Shall I take the filling out by myself? I take Marijuana, hydrocodone, morphine and somas.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Do not worry.
- I suggest taking painkillers, such as Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, and Ketorol-DT. However, please consult the dentist, discuss with them, and start taking the medications with their consent.
- Rinse mouth with salt water and turmeric mixture twice a day.
- Maintain oral hygiene properly and use mouthwash after brushing twice a day.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and take care.
