Cavity in upper third molar
My cavity has reached to severe stage. I am feeling shooting pain from past 24 hours and there is swelling and painkillers are not working. But problem is I am out of town so I'll have to wait for 5-6 days to get it fixed with the dentist. Is it safe to leave my tooth in this situation for 5 days? Is there any temporary medicine for it?
Please guide me?
