Hi, iam 39 years old female. Few months back i had permanent filling in molar tooth ...cavity was slightly deep. Now often i get pain. Same doctor adviced me to provide a medicine in my tooth and have permanent filling and if it doesnot work she suggested me RCT. My question is if the cavity was already deep why didnt she suggest me RCT or medicine that time itself? Ad now i have a doubt whether to go for medicine or straight away for RCT?
Hi, Thanks for asking TH query, Pain can be because the cavity is too deep and the filled material comes in contact with the pulp , or the infection had already spread to the pupal tissue. Visit to the dentist get checkup done . Take an x-ray. Take full course of antibiotics and analgesics. The treatment will be RCT. Unless the tooth is devitalized, disinfected and sealed to the apex you may experience pain . Use 0.2% of chlorhexidine mouthwash solution gargles thrice daily. Hope this helps out . Regards.
