Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I went to two dentists today. One said I need a root canal. Others said gums were infected and processed to do a brief cleaning and gave me antibiotics such as Amoxicillin and pain medications such as Acetaminophen. Since then the pain has become severe, radiating on my right side all around my jaw and teeth, up near my temple and behind my eye. Pain becomes intense for several minutes then subsides and comes back again. Also acts up whenever eating or drinking typically. Now where my head hurts near the temple there are veins protruding out too. It hurts behind my eye and my left nostril or the same side as pain is running. Also, I have H. pylori stomach infection. Can this be trouble with an infection of the gums too? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your query.

Well, I would like to see the radiographs the dentist has taken once. See the problem is in your tooth not gums. I could suggest you visit the dentist and tell them your medical history too and also about blood pressure and blood sugar details if you have any. Please follow your prescribed medication and I believe root canal treatment will save you. Just make sure you have no other problems like migraine or myopia or anything that causes problems. Sometimes pain occurs after the cleaning procedure. And it goes after a certain period of time. Get an OPG (orthopantogram) done soon to know if there is anything to do with the temples.

Follow home remedy when needed :

  1. Rinse mouth with salt water and turmeric mixture twice a day.

  2. Use crushed garlic clove and black salt mixture and apply it directly on the affected tooth. This will reduce pain.

  3. Do not open your mouth too wide or clench your teeth too tightly. Keep your mouth and teeth in a relaxing position as much as you can.

  4. Don't eat hard food or tear food.

  5. Drink lots of water.

  6. Use clove oil (if you have one) over your teeth to reduce pain.

Medication:

  1. Use tablet Ketorol- DT twice a day if the pain is uncontrollable. Just dissolve the tablet in a glass of water completely and then drink that water this will cure your pain. Do not use it more than twice a day.

  2. Use pain relief toothpaste on the tooth that is painful or needs a root canal.

I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wish you good health.

Regards.
