Suggest treatment for tooth ache
Patient: 36 year healthy female, went to dentist yesterday complained of intermittent pain for last six days, no cavities no discernible problem, suggested endontist which I scheduled for Tuesday. Trouble sleeping last, but did fall asleep after several hours with help on Advil and ice pack. Today pain excruciating and constant but relieved with ice water every two minutes. Help Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The pain in the tooth can be because of the tooth infection secondary to the decayed tooth. The pain during night time is a charecteristic feature of pulpitis. The decay might not be visible clinically, it can be present in between two teeth. So consult a oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out the decay and tooth infection. If it is tooth infection You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days(if you are not allergic).  After taking antibiotics you can get the tooth treated with RCT(if bone support is fine) for tooth infection.I hope my answer will help you, take care.
