Case Description
It is 1:17 a.m.. I am in severe pain and I'm not sure what I should do. I have taken motrin all day. Called my regular dentist but they just told me to wear a bite plate. I can't do that, it hurts too bad. No way can I sleep. I have also used orajel p.m.. No good! What should I do? My last tooth is broken and the tooth in front of it is a cap I received about a year ago. I have never had problems with that tooth until now. All the pain is in the tooth 2nd from the back. Help please!

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Thanks for contacting our office. With out seeing you, it is hard to determine exactly what treatment you need. Kind of like when a car breaks down, not sure what is wrong with the car until diagnostics are run. Our diagnostics include an xray which so shows why the tooth broke. Could be recurrent decay under the crown, could be infection and you need antibiotics, etc. There are a number of reasons but until you can get in to a dentist take 500 mg of Tylenol every 4-6hrs (for pain) and 800 Ibuprofen every 8 hours (for inflammation). This may or may not alleviate your discomfort. Please feel free to contact our office at (757)471-5480 and we will do our best to get you in ASAP. Hope you feel better soon! -Kat
