I'm really worried because a little piece of my tooth in the upper jaw, close to my wisdom tooth, broke off a couple of days ago, and it just keeps hurting constantly. I've been taking Zerodol-P and Augmentin 375 like someone suggested to help with the pain, but it's not getting any better. Should I be doing anything else before I can see a dentist, or is there something specific I should ask them?

My teeth have totally yellow stains on every single one is this something that can be cleaned off or would I need cosmetic treatments like veneers or bonding to fix it

If stains are superficial, cleaning may help; deeper discoloration often requires veneers, bonding, or whitening treatments.

My 3D xray shows the root canal is overextended but my dentist says it was done on purpose to clean out infection at the tip and he placed some medication there. He also mentioned I might need minor surgery for the labial bone part. Does this explanation make sense medically? I'm a bit confused about the report and want to understand if this treatment approach is correct

Actually your case is of external root resorption in which a part of root is dissolved may be becoz of infection or any old trauma. So the root canal filling which may be normal at that Time and now its overextended. So dont worry its not a big deal. Either u can treated by re rct (repeat root canal) or by the small root resection surgery.
