I have a broken tooth from a n accident a few years ago. since then the core has turned black recently with shots of pain and the gums become unaturally swolen im very sensitive to hot and cold foods as well. I dont have enough money to get it fixed since im taking care of my sister and my mother what can I do.
Helloo....read through your query ...I can say that the tooth is discolored as it has become dead(necroses).and swelling in the gum is due to infection in the root of the tooth as it has become dead...but nothing to worry...it can be treated by root canal treatment...and then placement of crown over it...since you said you don't have money u have to at least do root canal treatment now.and can do crown after few months...(should not be later than that BCO root canal treated tooth has chances of getting fractured if not put crown).now for infection u can take amoxicillin for 5 days and diclofenac when pain is present.hope u have got some benefit from my reply.be happy and have a healthy day!!!
