i have a abcessed tooth that is causing me  major pain. The only thing that helps is cold water. However if I stop using cold water for even 30 seconds i am in excruciating pain. The dentist today identified i have a dead tooth and prescribed me t3s and an antibiotic. The pain however seems to have localized to a specific tooth now that was not the one identified as dead. What can I do to get some relief to be able to sleep?
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.  Nothing to be panic, the features you are giving are the characteristic feature of pulpits.  To reduce the severe pain during nighttime, just take a retool dispersible tablet(if you are not allergic.). You need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic. The affected tooth has to be treated with root canal treatment. I hope my answer all help you. Take care.
