Question:
I have an infected tooth I have all my teeth and i will be gettiing it pulled?
Is there any pain medication or some kind of remedy to lessen the pain
thank you
Answers:
Antibiotics. Teeth do not have pain sensors, so pain meds don't help much. Teeth have pressure receptors, so when the infection puts too much pressure on the sensors the pain gets bad. Antibiotics reduce the infection/pressure providing relief in 1 day, 2 tops. Some antibiotics work better for teeth infections than others though. PS you do not want a dentist who will pull it while it is infected. You need the round of antibiotics 1st b/c the tooth will not numb while infected.
