Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20-year-old female. I have had tooth pain in my lower first molar for the past two days. I took Augmentin, but there was no relief. I also did some warm salt water gargling two times a day. I had some relief for some time, but my tooth pain returned. Can you please suggest a better treatment to resolve my tooth pain?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. I suggest the excavation of caries affected the lower first molar. Before excavation, assess the tooth for root canal treatment. If extraction is planned, you can replace the missing tooth.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
