Hi .. my front top two teeth are shaky now .. had a consultation with local dental doctor .. he said it is becuase pus has been present . am worried for going ahead in replacement of teeth .. any other good solution to retain my current teeth and make it stronger ?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes, the presence of the abscess will cause the mobility of the teeth. The degree of mobility determines whether the tooth is to be extracted or it can undergo treatment. I would advise you to take a radiograph done and also based on the clinical presentation, if the teeth can be saved with root canal treatment, you can have it done. If there is mobility such that the tooth cannot be saved, go ahead with removal followed by replacing the missing teeth. Do continue with salt water gargling and antibiotics if prescribed by the dentist. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
