2017-09-06 03:21:41
Since 2 days i am getting pain in the lower left 3rd molar as its not erupted completely I have been taking novaclox + enzoflam 3 times a day. Just after 5-6 hours after taking medicine pain comes back. i need to know 2 things please. 1. Will i need to wait for the infection to cure/ heal completely before i can go for extraction of tooth? 2. How many days approx i will take for infection to cure (5-6 days course). 3. What specialist dentist i should be meeting?

The pain won't subside just with the medicines and even if it does it would recur. You'll need to visit the dentist to know if there is any infection or swelling around the tooth. If not you can get it extracted. An oral surgeon would be the right one to go to.

After 2 days of antibiotics course you can go for the extraction. Some times only antibiotics will not work some time. Please consult an oral surgeon
