Severe Toothache
Hi,
I have got extreme tooth ache, I have visited my dentist and I am on antibiotics and painkiller.
Still I have got agonizing pain under the tooth which has previously undergone root canal treatment and is capped with ceramic cap.
I feel like breaking open the cap. Have taken painkiller still after 3 hours of taking the medicine the pain comes back.
Not able to sleep and feel very restless.

This seems to be a case of re infection. An xray needs to be taken and the cap needs to be cut out. Then the tooth needs to be retreated or removed as soon as possible.
