Teeth Pain
Hi All
I'm experiencing teeth pain in bottom teeth which is in middle which connects both front and back row, the pain is very mild in day time and increases during night,I'm doing salt water gargling couple of times and pain is subsiding a little for few hours.
Also, one of the teeth filling got removed a month ago but there is no pain on that teeth as of now, these two teeth are adjacent to each other with another teeth in between them.
I'm looking for info on reason for pain and medicine to treat this pain permanently. Would like to avoid physical doctor consultation in light of covid. Thank you!

Your pain seems to be typical dental pain associated with carious tooth . The reason why the filling in your tooth came out might be because of decay developed under the filling that caused filling to get dislodged.
Also antibiotics ,pain killers and salt water gargles will give u only symptomatic relief ,for sometime.
Kindly visit your dentist following protocols regarding covid and get tooth /teeth treated either by filling/Rct /extraction ,whatsoever is option is suitable in your case ,depending upon the clinical conditions and xray of that tooth .
Health Tips
do not apply any hot or cold packs or any kind of balm or clove oil etc for relief, it might worsen ur pain more .

Dear practo user
Consulting dentist would be the best solution for you. But if you need only medication, please take Augmentin 625mg twice daily for five days after food and tablet ketorol DT thrice daily after food for five days after food. This will control infection and pain. But taking prescription drugs without doctor consultation is not suggested. You might call us anytime for suggestions.
Next Steps
continue salt water gargling

Your pain is typical of a tooth that has a carious lesion( cavity) that has gone deep and is now causing inflammation in the nerve tissue
Next Steps
You will need to get a Root canal treatment done to save your tooth and alleviate the pain.
Health Tips
You could start on a course of pain killer. But it would be ideal to see and dentist and get the treatment done.
