Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the reply..
It looks like your tooth is decayed since long and you need to get it treated as soon as possible to get permanent relief..
Medications will provide only temporary relief and in case of tooth decay, treating the tooth is the only way to relieve pain and infection completely..
You should consult an Endodontist and get evaluated..
As x ray is a must to check for the severity of decay and as it is 4 years now, it has to be checked that whether tooth can be saved or not.
If tooth is in a condition to be saved then Root Canal Treatment can help..
In case if there is gross decay extraction is advisable..
Please write back for more queries..
