Throbbing premolar

[Iva 10]

Hello

I have been in severe pain for the past 2 days and all the pain seems to coming from my lower premolar tooth. This tooth broke down last year and I have been very busy and left it as it was and up to now I have had no pain or discomfort from this tooth. However last couple of days, I have been taking every painkiller that I could find but this tooth keeps throbbing and pulsating and the pain just does not stop. I think the tooth is my premolar and there is not much of it left and when I touch it with my tongue it moves a little bit. Is there anything that can be done for this tooth or does it need to be removed?

Thank you for your question.

Without seeing your tooth I cant say if it can be saved or not. However even if there is a root remaining, it might be possible to root fill the root and rebuild the tooth up with a post and dental crown.

Please call the emergency dentist on-call on 0208 547 9997 or 0208 481 0003 to book a consultation.
