Hello and welcome.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

After reading your history I have come to this conclusion that your tooth requires root canal treatment.For that you can again take a short course of antibiotic for three days.

I would also like to explain you that both the doctors you visited were right in their approach and they have suggested correct treatment.

In my usual practice, if a patient comes with a complain of tooth ache,I clean the cavity and seal it off with temporary cement.After that if the decay shows good prognosis then we go for permanent filling else root canal is the final treatment for that tooth.

Therefore please do not be worried and go for root canal treatment.you can approach your dentist and start a course of antibiotics and analgesics.

Hope I have answered your query in detail.

Thanks.
Take care.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Tooth pain indicates infection in the tooth which needs to be treated with root canal treatment to save it permanently.
Antibiotics and analgesics will give temporary relief.
I would suggest you to consult to the Dentist get the checkup done take an x-ray of the affected tooth and start with the treatment.
Unless the tooth is treated for root canal treatmnet you will face pain and infection.

Hope you find this as helpful,

Regards..
