Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a tooth that was decayed and needed to come out. I saw my debtist who referred me to an oral surgeon for extraction because of the roots. I am in the process of saving money for my co-insurance for the oral surgeon. Tonight I was eating and the tooth cracked in half. I have immense pain and the left side of my face is swelling. I had an issue 4 years ago with an infected tooth that lead to sepsis and hospitalization for me. What should I do tonight regarding the broken tooth and swelling?
