I went to the dentist 2 days ago cos I am having a toothache and its quite painful. The dentist said I had gingivitis and the tooth extraction cannot be done. She issued me an antibiotic and pain reliever. After my 2nd take of antibiotic, I feel numbness on my cheek and lower lip (the cheek part where I had the bad teeth causing me pain). Is the numbness normal?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, After reading your clinical symptoms I would suggest you to go for the treatment of gingivitis first followed by the extraction of the tooth. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the complete mouth scaling and polishing done. As the prescribed antibiotics are not suiting you get it changed by the Dentist, after that you can plan for the extraction of the tooth. Maintain a good oral hygiene, take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Hope this helps out. Regards...
