How can severe toothache be treated?
Patient: I have 4 bad teeth on left side. Wisdom teeth top and bottom. Can't sleep for a week and pain bring me to tears. Meds ran out. Tromodol is gone. I do not have job but I can payment plan.  Please help o can't take it any longer. Dental appointment is in June Doctor: Hi..Thanks for the query..Well, if you have 4 painful teeth then taking painkillers alone is not a good idea as they will provide only temporary relief and the pain will flare up once the effect of the pain reliever will wean off..In case if you do not have early appointment available with your dentist then you can consult another oral physician or an oral surgeon or dentists at dental colleges to get attended early..Your teeth first of need to be scanned by an IOPAR [X-ray]..Once the cause is ruled out the teeth has to be treated accordingly.If your wisdom teeth are causing problem they can simply be extracted for permanent resolution..Other painful teeth can either be saved with root canal treatment or extracted depending on the condition of teeth..Hope this information helps..
