Do I Have A Tooth Infection If I Have Pain And Soreness In Molar?
I had gall bladder removed 2 weeks ago. They placed a breathing tube in my mouth. the tube lacerated my gum line. Now my molar is very sore and I have a major tooth ache along that gum line. Is it possible I have a tooth infection (abscess)? Should I see a doctor or go to a dentist.

hi
thanks for writing in.
You need to get x- ray done of this tooth.
There can be abscess in that tooth.
Consult dentist to rule out.
If its abscess then go for RCT or extraction depending on clinical & radiolographic condition.
