Hi, Thank you for the query. The history what you gave suggest of gingival recession exposing the root fur cation or a deep cervical abrasion of the teeth. So application of cavity varnish can give you relief for some extent but the infection due to it may not respond to this treatment. You have not specified your age, I suggest you to take keterol-dt 2 tablets at once by dissolving them in water which will give you relief for 6 to 8 hrs when you have severe pain or else eugenic plus along with a course of antibiotic can be taken to postpone your treatment for another 2 weeks and get relief from pain. Another thing to be taken care is avoided very hot and cold foods and use a sensory rapid action toothpaste soot hat if the pain is because of sensitivity it might reduce. Hope this information will help you.
