cavity or root canal?

what area live?

with the covid thing going on...most dentists are working with existing clients only...might be able to get in with an emergency...but might take a week


hot or cold sensitivity? pressure?

if you put hot water on it a few times...does pain get worse and takes a long while to calm it down? if so it's probably infected. they will put you on antibiotics for 3 days before doing anything...if you have some "OLD unused" amoxacillian...start taking it and it will help with the pain if you have it...might take a little over 24hrs if you take about 50percent extra the first night.

i just got done dealing with this and was caught with pain during the covid lock downs

it's always good to have a few pills of antibiotics left for these reasons...or to bridge the time to get to doctor...cuts down on the days of pain that need to endure

You might want to try calling around to see who is open to patients. Just had one of my previous dentists call me for a check up.

What ever you do don't listen to the advice of people here on HX except for recommendations. As you know most of us are unlikely to be medical professionals or dentists.

I get allergies in the Spring that make some of my upper teeth feel like I need a root canal stat! Really I just need to remember to take allergy meds, pain killers and some decongestants. Only a doctor and a dentist can tell you that though.

Go to your local pharmacy store and get mouthwash for oral pain, try something like Orajel, Dentek or something similar and also rinse with salt and warm water. Then make an appointment with a local dentist, they are seeing patients, new and existing. Next, stop eating/drinking sugary garbage.

And don't tell the dental office you have an emergency, they will charge more. Call around and see who can get you in the quickest, if the pain is unbearable then you may need to schedule an emergency visit.

Many Americans don't have health/dental insurance and the Republicans still have no plan.

also...floss the shit out of your teeth or around the tooth if there is some pain...sometimes it's just gum irritation that can cause pain and that can make it go away

above(heat) was simple tests to see if there is an infection....you still need to get to a dentist/Endodontists to get it fixed.

@Facephuckker offering no solution and responding with inaccurate statements. That's what Republicans usually do.

sometimes there is pain without an infection...in those cases get to a dentist when you can

if there is an infection...hurry your ass to a dentist to get the antibiotics...most likely won't treat you for 3 days to a week after being on the meds...which is fine, the meds will help reduce the pain/inflammation and help for quicker recovery after the procedure.


the hot water test is to see how fast you need to go and find a dentist...like same or next day...not a week


if an infection goes too long...it can start moving thru your jaw, ears and brain...with some very bad consequences

I do not know, endorse, nor have any experience with any of the dentists in the link but I have heard nothing but positive statements from a few people who have gone South for dentistry. Recently, a friend of mine told me his experience with a dentist in Tijuana was pleasant and less costly than his insured dentist in California. He did say the drawback was having to wait in a long line to come home, though that line may not be as bad now due to Covid-19. There is also the risk of catching Covid-19 while travelling, even if it is a short distance, so you have to be careful.

@eamee you could try contacting dental schools located at certain colleges. Many offer low cost dental work, but I don't know what the school situation in cali is due to covid

Becareful with what you eat, try avoiding placing excessive pressure or chewing on hard things on the side with that temporary or directly on the temp. I hope you were not chewing on almonds, peanuts, or carrots. Also careful with the flossing.

Did the the temporary crack partially, completely, or fall out?
