Hello I have a tooth problem...a couple months back my second top molar partially fell out...now there is nothing but a shard coming out of gum...the pain comes and goes but it is severe pain as I dont have dental insurance Im wondering what it is the hole where my molar was is very deep and seems to be not healing...I use aspirin and salt water for pain...sometimes gargle with peroxide or listerine...hoping if its an infection it wont spread...any advice?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum, As your tooth has partially broken, so you need a clinical and radio graphical examination to judge whether the left portion can be saved or not. If some tooth structure is there then root canal along with post and core will save the tooth. If just root stumps are there then extraction will be advised. Till then, you can take Amos 500 mg, Matronly 400 mg and ibuprofen. Wishing you cure footage care
