Suggest Treatment For Toothache
My boyfriend is having a toothache, he cant sleep at night and the only way it doesnt hurt is when he is moving around. He left work early and ran a slight fever yesterday. When he went to the dentist on monday all she did was xrays and said she has to clean his teeth first, but at the same time she said he had and infection and she didnt prescribe any medication for pain or the infection. What should I do?

Read your query.
Tooth pain associated with postural variation suggests deep caries involving the pulp ,which if left untreated will lead to an abscess (periapical abscess).
I would advice you to ask him to have a ibuprofen or a pain killer (if he is not allergic to any medicine).Antibiotics like amoxicillin will be required on prescription.Please revisit the dentist and have the tooth treated with root canal treatment.Cleaning of the teeth can be followed .
Do not apply hot bag externally.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
