Dental query
How long can I wait to show it to dentist? I am out of station and want to be treated in a closer vicinity of my home for future treatment. Will it be done via anaesthesia or it can be a normal treatment at this stage. Thanks for your advice.
As long as it's not paining you can wait for time being. Keep it clean and rinse thoroughly after eating.
Painkillers can be taken but not for too long a period just to tide you over till u come home. Extraction is a simple procedure under local anaesthesia.
Next Steps
keep it clean and pray it doesn't pain

If it's not giving you any pain just do regular salt warm water rinses, tilting your head on that side and keep that area clean. Once you get back visit your dentist and post clinical and x ray evaluation the treatment plan would be decided.
Any extraction procedure is carried out under local anesthesia only.
Next Steps
continue with warm salt water rinses and keep that area clean via brushing and oral rinses.
Health Tips
keep a painkiller handy for the time being but as soon as you get back visit your dentist because popping a painkiller is never advisable instead get yourself treated for the same.
