I have teeth ache in lower second molar. The pain is also around behind second molar. I took paracetamol for two days .but the pain is there. What should I do.

Question

Hello Lybrate user. The tooth ache may be due to dental caries. I advice you to take an orthopantamogram and consult me. For temporary relief, do salt water rinsing. Avoid chewing that side. Do soft brushing that side. Restoration or root canal treatment can be done in second molars. Sometimes the dental caries pain may radiate to the adjacent tissues. Consult me for further details. Thank you.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause throbbing pain behind your second molars under your gums. This occurs when wisdom teeth can't break through the gum's surface. Untreated impacted wisdom teeth can damage your mouth and surrounding teeth. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
