My wifes back left molar has a huge cavity and is scheduled to be removed on the 13th. She is in so much pain that she hasnt been able to eat for the last three days. shes tryed useing orajel, Vikeden, and over the counter pain killers with no relief is there anything she might be able to do to help her with this?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes, tooth pain can be too bothersome. Pain could be due to the tooth getting involved deeply in the pulp, leading to access formation. I would advise you to advance the date of visiting the dentist, so that he can put her on antibiotics like Amoxicillin along with the painkiller. This will provide relief to her. Extraction can be followed after that. Do salt water gargling. Do not apply hot bag externally. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
