Toothache from 3 days
I have had tooth decay from a long time and now it seems to have formed a cavity. It is aching from past 3 days and I am taking pain killers. As lockdown is going on currently, I prefer not going out to a dentist, also I am not sure if there are any dentists available nearby.
Please suggest the right way.
