What could be done to manage pain due to broken filling?

Question

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.
