I have a tooth that hurts, but not really bad. Endodontist took an xray and said looks like an infection. This tooth has a crown and post. They said they can do a root canal or do a gum surgery. I was wondering if an antibiotic could fix this instead?
Hello, You have tooth infection which seems to be due to infected tooth and seems infection has reached pulp region deep inside. Antibiotics will be the first line of treatment to subside infection. Once infection will be subsided, you have to go for proper root canal procedure to save the tooth. Maintain complete hygiene. Visit oral specialist once and get it treated to save your tooth. Go for qua Chat Doctor.  Do Beta done rinses.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
