hello, you can do warm salt water rinses it will help u to reduce the swelling and give u temporary relief from pain. visit a dentist and get it checked.get an x-ray done. if there is infection to the root of tooth get it treated.then get a crown placed over it.it might take 3-4 sittings to complete the entire procedure.

Hi. Rct will take about 2 to 3 sittings since you have a swelling. It is not at all painful. In fact in most cases it is absolutely painless as it is done under local anaesthesia. Regards, Dr Varun Bhatia
