Tooth root infection and dentist doesn’t do anything?
Hello,
I went to the dentist this morning because I've been in a lot of pain since yesterday morning (I didn't sleep half the night). The tooth that hurts has had root canal treatment and is now unfortunately inflamed at the root tip. The doctor just looked at it, pressed a little with the mirror and said she would prescribe me penicillin. Is this the right procedure? The last time I had problems with the tooth, it was opened up so that at least the pressing pain caused by the "gas" would go away. Should I go to a second dentist? Or is treatment with penicillin promising and FAST? I don't want to spend another night without sleep. Thanks for your answers.

No, that’s not right. The existing root canal filling must be removed and revised. The antibiotic – the effect occurs at the earliest morning, rather overmorning – lets the acute inflammation decay temporarily, but has no influence on the cause of inflammation. This is formed because inflammatory tissue remains in the root channels, at least in a W channel.
If, in the long term, you value the preservation of the tooth, then you should be able to carry out the revision of an endodontologist – this is a dentist specializing in root canal treatments. Then you can assume that you can get the tooth very, very long. Disadvantage: Unfortunately, this treatment is a pure private service that is not funded by the GKV.
However, you should definitely end the antibiotic and do not stop the treatment/use (the term antibiotic resistance). If you still have pain today and tomorrow, then take pain tablets – preferably ibuprofen.
Hello Deichgoettin and thank you for your detailed answer! I take the Medis now by (3x a day / 10 total – Penicillin 1,5 Mega). Yes I had already dated her about 4 weeks ago, that a revision must be made because she found a small inflammation by X-ray on that date. This has apparently been extended very quickly via the WE. I am currently helping with 2x 400MG IBU á 3x a day and the drug, additionally I cool the place. The extreme pain has already become better, the tooth itself pains only minimally when biting, but the swollen inflammation still hurts. I hope that the inflammation will begin to sound tomorrow night. Does the influx of the drug actually cool? Because the bloodstreams are narrowed when you cool.
Very welcome 🙂
No, you don’t have to worry. Cooling certainly helps against inflammation and also against pain. Hopefully I wish you a painless and good night.
Thanks for the star 🙂
Yes in the case of acute inflammation, an antibiotic is first given against inflammation. Only when the inflammation is gone can the dentist do something.
If the pain was to be there tonight, I would rather consult a 2nd doctor. Painkillers do not work with me, neither 400 IBU nor 600
It takes one, two days before the inflammation starts.
No, it’s not.
Thank you for your answer. However, the ZA has issued with only one prescription for 10 tablets, I should take 3 a day. Are they enough?
Antibiotics is a standard first.
If it doesn’t get better, the tooth will be opened again.
Let you spell painkillers.
Yes, before the actual treatment begins, the inflammation must first be cured.
He can’t work on an inflamed tooth.
Change the dentist.
Another dentist will do the same.
