Im in bad bad pain and untill i get that tooth removed how can i get rid of the pain please help
Hello, we are here to help you out... I have gone through your problem, it seems that your wisdom tooth is decayed and as you say much destruction of enamel and dentin has occurred since you are suffering from so much pain. If medicine are not working then I would advise for such patient for extraction of the wisdom tooth as it is difficult to do root canal treatment in the wisdom tooth. So better you get that tooth extracted as soon as possible. Hope you got the answer. Take care. Thank you.
