Had toothache for 7 days...and finally the courage to go yesterday to Dentist...Only have 6 lower centre teeth. He x-rayed checked my to lower capped (which are joined) said they are fine and filled a cavity on the next existing tooth. He also re surfaced my 2 capps (as the gold was showing) After 30 mins my gum and lips were still numb, but I felt the old tooth ache. I phoned in and reception said wait till everey thing wears off. AS it wore off I felt this rough piece in the centre where he drilled...2 hours later slight fever...he said...anti=biotics...or he can redrill draw out the nerve...or extraction. Where do I stand?

Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The symptoms you describe suggest an infection in one the tooth mentioned (abscess). I would advise you to continue the medicines for the pain and antibiotic. Please proceed with the root canal treatment (I.e. nerve removal) or the most appropriate treatment. If you are personally not satisfied you can always go for a second opinion for your satisfaction. Do warm saline gargling. Thanks and regards.
