I dove head first into a pool and hit my face at the bottom and chipped my tooth. About a month later I began feeling pressure when I bite down on my molars, like the upper front teeth are being pushed together. Are the teeth going to have to be removed. Email me at YYYY@YYYY
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. It appears to be abscessed developed post trauma. It is best to get it examined clinically by taking suitable x-rays. This will show the periapical infection. Based upon the x-ray finding root canal treatment can be done. This does not require extraction of tooth mere devitalizing the pulp tissue helps. Therfore please see your dentist soon in this regard.Meanwhile, if required you can take painkillers until you see your dentist. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
