hi doctor, my gums under my tooth is swelling for 2months. it isn't hurt. but every time i drink cold water, i felt my tooth is like freezing but i don't feel any pain at all. by the way i have tooth fillings from that. I already have my xray and the dentist told me to undergo root canal because their's a pus inside.. i don't believe them :( root canal is so painful.. maybe theirs other way to get rid of it. or drink some medicine to cure it :((( help!
thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling in the gums could be because of the infection in the root tip. if the tooth is non vital then it has to be treated with root canal treatment. the procedure is not painful. consult a good endodontist and get it done. mean while take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and meteronidazole if you are not allergic. i hope my answer will help you. take care
