About five months ago i had a filling in my molar tooth, since then it was sensitive to cold and hot. About a week ago it became painfull, its a constant pain, i took some ibuprofen for couple days, but then another tooth became painfull when bitten on. I took some nimesulide, which is anti inflamatory, that helped, but the molar is still painfull as soon as i stop taking nimesulide. Can it be root infection?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The features you are describing is a sequela of dental caries leading to roots infection. Nothing to be panic consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis, once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can get the tooth treated with Root canal treatment. The nimesulide and ibuprofen, will not solve the problem, it will reduce the pain temporarily. But cause has to be treated. So get the tooth treated first. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
