How Can Lower Jaw Pain With Teeth Cavities Be Treated?
Hello,
I am 19 years old and have been having excruciating pains for about 2-3 months consecutivly now, on my left lower jaw half of the molar has broken off whilst i was eating a biscut. Now my whole lower right jaw is in pain constantly. I have been taking nurofen Plus for afew months now and am now starting to get sick. I can't pin point the pain because it's all through my jaw. I have started holding ice packs to it but that doesnt do much to help the pain & usually the nurofen last about and hour or less if im lucky enough to even have it kick in.
I am terrified of even making an appointment to see the dentist, There are some wholes in some of the teeth on the other side now and today a peice broke off of it aswell on the 2nd last tooth on my right side.
What do you think this could be?
Any home remidies to stop the pain?
Please help.

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic,
I read your query, I understood your problem,
As you write , I think your tooth pulp is infected,
You should visit a dentist for root canal treatment, you cant treat at home,
For now you can take some painkiller and antibiotics,
I think I answered your query,
Get well soon,
Thanks and regards
