Broken Tooth. Taken Treatment, Big Hole In Gum, Slight Pain, Dark Color Inside Hole. Harmful?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

After reading your clinical history i suppose that you have developed severe infection of the tooth.
I would suggest you to visit the Dentist take an x-ray of the tooth depending upon which the treatment will be extraction or RCT.
Root canal treatment is the procedure in which the entire nerve canals are removed the tooth is devitalised and filled with a inert material.
Go for symptomatic treatment of complete mouth scaling and polishing.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, use lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Hope this helps out.

Regards...

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

According to your clinical history i suspect your dentist has done BIFURCATION OR HEMISECTION of your infected tooth in order to avoid extraction of the tooth.

as you have mentioned you have a gum pocket in this area , it may incorporate food particles and other debris and irritants which may lead to infection.

If the tooth is symptomatic i would suggest you to get the tooth extracted and replaced by a prosthetic tooth .

If not , i would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or betadine to keep the area clean and prevent infection.

i hope this helps ,

take care.
