Do I Have A Tooth Infection If I Have Pain And Soreness In Molar?
I had gall bladder removed 2 weeks ago. They placed a breathing tube in my mouth. the tube lacerated my gum line. Now my molar is very sore and I have a major tooth ache along that gum line. Is it possible I have a tooth infection (abscess)? Should I see a doctor or go to a dentist.
You need to get x- ray done of this tooth. There can be abscess in that tooth. Consult dentist to rule out. If its abscess then go for RCT or extraction depending on clinical & radiolographic condition.
