Q. I have severe pain in a cavitated tooth. What can be done?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. For time being, you can get the pain relief from this infectious tooth. Take the following medication tablet Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 625 twice daily for five days. Ketorol DT, only if the pain is there. But, your real problem is acute pulpitis because of an exposed cavity. It will be causing recurrent infections if you will not treat it. For treatment, get a root canal treatment done as soon as possible otherwise you may need to get it removed with a year or so.

For more information consult a dentist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/dentist

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
