Hello

Thanks for consulting Hcm

Read your query pain in tooth can be due to some reasons it can be due to carious tooth or due to periodontal problem dont be worried so much I will suggest you to consult dentist for complete oral examination and for proper investigation to rule out cause of pain .

Inmeantime for pain in flight I will suggest you to take dispersable analgesic like paracetamol . do warm saline rinses , maintain proper oral hygiene .

Thanks
