Hello Doctor,
I've been having a lot of pain in one of my back teeth, and it's gotten so bad that I can't eat any non-vegetarian food without feeling a sharp ache. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
For temporary relief, you can take ibuprofen 600mg twice daily, but it's important to not rely on this as a long-term solution. It's crucial to address the underlying cause of your tooth pain, which could be due to decay, infection, or another dental issue. I recommend avoiding hot, cold, or sugary foods and maintaining good oral hygiene until you can see your dentist. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include a filling, root canal therapy, or extraction, depending on the severity of the problem.
Thanks
