What can be done for persistent toothache due to cavity?
Hello doctor,
I have been experiencing persistent toothache for a while, and I have been using mefenamic acid to temporarily alleviate the pain. But, the pain returns shortly after taking it. I have a cavity, and my gums are swollen. I have been dealing with this toothache for the past few days, trying various home remedies, including using mouthwash and toothache drops, but the pain keeps recurring. Please help.
Thank you.

My husband had severe tooth pain and yesterday he got an X-ray of his mouth done which shows that one of his teeth is fully covered up in his jaw skin. Please tell me is surgery the only option for it and is it harmful? Please help.

Why have I developed severe pain and blackish discoloration in previously restored teeth?
Hi doctor,
My molar teeth had a cavity seven years back, and a dentist filled that cavity. But since last week, I have been in a lot of pain, and my molar has blackened. I feel like the filling is getting between my jaw. My entire jaw hurts, and no amount of medication has helped. I am also unable to eat anything. I never experienced anything like this before. I am currently taking Acabel and Panadol for pain. What should I do? What is it called? What procedure is required? Please help.
