I Have Two Infected Teeth Not Swollen Just Lost Fillings

Tooth infection, antibiotics, analgesics, root canal treatment/extraction
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The tooth pain is because of the tooth infection.Nothingbto be panic, you can get those teeth restored with root canal treatment if sufficient tooth structure is remaining and with sufficient bone support. So you need to get an X ray done to decide the treatment plan. If there is no tooth structure remaining or bone support, then tooth needs to be removed. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg thrice daily and Analgesics like diclofenac 50mg twice daily (if you are not allergic). Once you get an appointment with your doctor you can get the teeth treated. Since there is Corona virus outbreak everywhere, you might not get appointment now. Once the viral outbreak subsides, you get the teeth treated.
I hope I have answered your query. if you have any queries reply me back.
Take care.


Better to postpone dental treatment, take medicines
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply. Tooth infection has nothing to do with viral infection. Viral infection with corona is life threatening. So you better wait till the viral infection subsides so that you can consult the surgeon and get the teeth treated. There are chances of you getting infected with virus if you go out for dental treatment now.Nobody will treat you now for dental issues since there are increased risk of spread of viral infection during dental treatment. So better take a course of antibiotics and get the teeth treated later. Medicines will reduce the tooth pain. Even if you get infected with virus, it will not have any effect on tooth. Better stay safe and take care.
I hope i have answered your query. If you have any questions reply me back. Take care
