On Root Canal Treatment. Open Hole In Tooth As Cotton Came Out. Immidiate Doctor Visit Required?
Had an absese tooth last Weekend. Dentist did Root canal on Mon. Left open to drain. Going back next Thursday to finish. On anti biotics and moltrin for pain. Area around tooth still hurt (Aches). Cotton came out of tooth today, now just open hole in tooth. Should I let dentist know on Monday (today is Sat.) about cotton coming out or should be alright for another 5 days.
There is no need to worry you can visit the Dentist on Thrusday itself.
Take care there no food lodgement in the open cavity, use opposite side for eating.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesic.
Try if you can fix a small cotton ball in the cavity.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily.
Cotton is placed above the access cavity to prevent food lodgement.
Please try to keep the cotton by yourself if possible,
The exposed tooth cavity can cause sensitivity.Its better to visit dentist soon to get the treatment done.
Since you are under antibiotics,you can wait until the pus drains out.
Make sure that you maintain oral hygiene well.
Rinse your mouth after every meals to prevent plaque and food debris accumulation.
Use soft bristled toothbrush and dental floss to clean your teeth.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
The first step of RCT is done by your dentist. he has given you an open dressing so that the pus and infection can drain through the opening. Dont worry about the removal of cotton. Go to your dentist on the scheduled date for the continuation of RCT. Take warm saline gargle 3-4 times a day for relief.
