What causes soreness post molar teeth replacement?
Patient: Hi, my right molar broke a few weeks ago and the dentist made me a new one and put it in for me. Now i cant eat on that side as it feel extremely sore when putting pressure on it. Also on my gum line directly under my molar there is a small painful lump which make my tooth and gum throb. is this an absceds? If so please what can i take Im also 22 weeks pregnant...please help. Very painful Doctor: Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.The soreness following replacement of the missing tooth can be because of the any sharp margins below the prosthesis or it can be because of the left out root piece infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You are not suppose to get exposed to radiation. You need to wait till you deliver. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin(if you are not allergic) and painkillers like paracetamol. Do saline gargling. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
