Is There Any Good Treatment For Pain In Teeth ?

Hi, I had cavity in my teeth around 4 years and because of that I had huge pain and went to dentist and he cleaned the teeth and filled some material. The material he filled came out in 2-3 days but I did not had any pain till 4 years. Now I am not sure whether the cavity started in next teeth (next to the teeth in that I had cavity earlier) but I am getting huge pain which making me feel like hell. As of now I had taken a pain killer table (Ketorolac) and I am not sure how it is going to affect. I just want to know whether I need to get filled some material in my teeth to get rid of this pain or is there any other treatment I can take. --Narendra

Hi,
A cavity on a tooth has to be filled at the earliest. If the cavity is in dentin it will result in sensitivity while taking cold foods and sweets.The treatment at this stage is a permanent filling. If the decay has involved the pulp it will result in pain. The treatment then is root canal treatment and crown over the tooth.

Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Thanks for your query,
Root canal treatment and crown over the tooth is the treatment.
Avoid very hot and very chilled food.
Chew slowly.
Avoid non-veg for few days.
Brush your teeth twice daily.
For sensitive teeth and decay ,apply Colgate Gel Cam(USA) with finger or a cotton bud all over the teeth,do not rinse with water till half an hour.You can just spit if you want.Follow the instructions written on the box.Continue this treatment for a month or two.
For further information write to fcpum@ymail.com

Hello,
The Caries (decay) in the tooth must be very deep to reach yhe pulp causing inflammation of the pulp called PULPITIS. A better option in this case would be a Root Canal Treatment, the feasibility of which can be assesed by a dentist, else extraction of the concerned tooth may be needed followed by an artifitial replacement.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

dear you are experiencing severe pain in your tooth so definitely caries has reached upto your pulp [the part which contains nerves].there are just 2 options- root canal treatment or extraction.RCT should definitely be preferred as it saves your tooth.extraction is performed when tooth cant be saved by RCT.

hello friend, welcome to healthcare magic,
your problem is a chronic case of pulpitis or periodontitis, which can be assured by any good dentist after having an x-ray.there are 2 treatments-
1.root canal treatment followed by capping or crown of that tooth,
2. extraction or removal of that tooth if you do not desire to save that tooth or the prognosis is poor.
consult the dental surgeon fast.
thank you for putting question.
