Q. Can removal of retained roots help in relieving pain and foul odor in the mouth?
Hello doctor,
I got my lower wisdom tooth removed three months ago. A piece of a root was retained accidentally. I am having frequent pain and a foul odor in my mouth. However, there is no swelling.
Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. You have to get the root piece extracted as early as possible. I suggest the below treatment plan:
- Tablet Augmentin 625 mg (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid) thrice a day for a week.
- Tablet Acenext P (Aceclofenac and Paracetamol) thrice a day for three days.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
