I have tooth on my right lower mouth that a filling fell out of years ago. Its like the 3rd tooth from the back. It just started hurting about a month ago and now i have a large lump that has formed on my jaw just under the tooth. It is very painful! I have no insurance can you tell me what this is and if there are any home remedies to fix the problem
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to tell you that you got chronic abscess due to faulty restoration in associated tooth. It means your infection has reached till pulp & has resulted in abscess formation. You need to get an IOP AR done of associated tooth & get it treated. It can not be treated by filling now & requires Root Canal Treatment or Extraction depending on condition of teeth.Meanwhile, you start with Tab Aerosol SP thrice a day along with Tab Acclaim twice a day & a multivitamin once daily for 5 day. Consult your dentist as soon as possible. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
