Suggest Treatment For Toothache And Feeling Of Lump Inside Mouth
I went to the dentist as I had toothache. He gave my three filling he gave me two injections on one side if my mouth. The other side was not numbed. He then began to drill into the tooth on the side that had been numbed. Halfway through I made him numb it. Three days after I still have toothache and a lump on my gum, could this be because he didn t numb it??

Hi! Sorry for your discomfort. I believe fillings is not the answer for your problem. Could be that the decay in your tooth would have progressed to the nerve inside the tooth. In such cases Root canal is the treatment of choice. Kindly ensure that your dentist takes an xray for the tooth. If nerve is involved then fillings will make things worse. Pain continuing and lump on the gum suggest the same.
Please suggest this to your dentist.
