Reason for severe tooth ache?
Patient: Hi,about a month ago i had a really bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. He removed my wisdom tooth as it was growing sideways in the cheek and caused a really bad infection. the last few days my cheek is hurting and it feels exactly the same as when i had that infection. It also looks similar. It is really tender and it hurts when i chew. It looks like it has a pussy centre.I'm worried cause this is the second time I've had it in a month. Is this something serious? Doctor: Thanks for posting your query to HCM.It shouldn't be serious. You should visit a dentist and get proper oral and radiological examination done of the concerned area.Till then you can do Betadine rinses 3-4 times a day.Hope my answer will help you.
