Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have toothache on the left side. I took an OPG of mine. I want to show the report and know the findings.

Answered by Dr. Naveen Thomas

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have an impacted wisdom tooth on the left side which requires surgical extraction by an oral surgeon. It might be causing you pain. Wisdom teeth on both the upper left and right side are impacted, so remove it as soon as possible. I suggest tablet Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) thrice daily for five days. Consult a dentist for painkiller and treatment.

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