Hi, I had cavity in my teeth around 4 years and because of that I had huge pain and went to dentist and he cleaned the teeth and filled some material. The material he filled came out in 2-3 days but I did not had any pain till 4 years. Now I am not sure whether the cavity started in next teeth (next to the teeth in that I had cavity earlier) but I am getting huge pain which making me feel like hell. As of now I had taken a pain killer table (Ketorolac) and I am not sure how it is going to affect. I just want to know whether I need to get filled some material in my teeth to get rid of this pain or is there any other treatment I can take. --Narendra
Hello, The Caries (decay) in the tooth must be very deep to reach the pulp causing inflammation of the pulp called PULPITS. A better option in this case would be a Root Canal Treatment, the feasibility of which can be assessed by a dentist, else extraction of the concerned tooth may be needed to be followed by an artificial replacement. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
