How to apply dologel for pain in mouth at the upper jaw?
Patient: Sir, i have pain in my mouth at the upper jaw, but am not sure whether the pain is of the teeth or the gum but when i touch the teeth i feel and pain and am quite facing this pain over a week and its the first teeth(paired teeth) that starts just after the single set of teeth, to be clear. I have consulted a dentist and checked with him, he said that there is no damage in the teeth and gum and suggested dologel which is an analgesic and antiseptic gel, i have applied it overnight and felt better till morning but later again faced a little pain, i feel that's working and may take little time, I need help to know how to apply the gel and how many times a day??? Like Can I apply the gel for the teeth too that is painful and how many times should I apply it for a day and how long should I massage the gum with the gel??? Will be thank you for answering me Sir....!! Doctor: Hello,Thanks for writing in healthcare magic.First and foremost we need to rule out if the pain is from the tooth. If the tooth is having decay, or fracture pain can be due to that.A x ray can rule any abnormality. Dologel can help if there is any ulceration or soreness in the gums.It acts as a topical anesthetic agent thus numbing the sensation and reducing pain. You can apply it 2 to 3 times a day with your finger on the affected area. I would suggest that if the pain is not coming down or worsens go back to your dentist and get a thorough examination done. Many times dental pain are referred and a correct diagnosis is important.Hope that answers your query. Let me know if you have any doubts.Thanks,Dr. Sushma
