My last tooth has a cavity and isn't straight it's lying sideways but hurts a lot. Do I need to get a scan and surgery for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's crucial to see a dentist for this toothache, especially with a cavity and the tooth being out of alignment. A scan (likely an X-ray) will be necessary to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. It's possible the tooth needs a filling, root canal, or extraction, and the misalignment might require orthodontic treatment or surgery in some cases

View allMy wisdom teeth are half in and half out of my gums, causing pain and swelling off and on. The issue flares up for a week or so, then goes away for a few months before coming back. I really don't want surgery is there any way to manage the pain and swelling permanently?
The recurring pain and swelling around your partially erupted wisdom teeth, known as pericoronitis, can be managed through a combination of home care and professional dental treatments. While surgery might be a long-term solution, there are ways to control the symptoms and prevent or minimize future flares.

I got into an accident a while back, and my tooth broke. They managed to fix it, but that was 8 years ago. I'm a bit worried if there's something I should watch out for or if anything needs checking up now. Any advice?

I've been dealing with really bad tooth pain for the past two days. I've already tried the painkillers, ketorol dt, but it still hurts a lot. What else can I do for relief? Is there something else you would recommend? This pain is really getting to me.
pain could be because of tooth decay you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. Get an x-ray done if required. If there is cavity get it filled. If there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated.
