[|Human|] The tooth at the back of my upper mouth (right at the back) is broken and has been for about a year. When air gets to it I have lots of pain. Will the dentist be able to remove this as half the tooth is already goneI am too scared to go to the dentist.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Decay in the tooth is causing the pain when air touches the tooth (usually referred to as pulpits). I would advise you to take ibuprofen for pain (if you are not allergic to any medicine). Visit your local dentist and have it evaluated by a radiograph. If it is possible to save the tooth, then get the root canal treatment done, otherwise you can go for the extraction of the tooth. Visit the dentist before the pain become too intense, and you don't have to fear the dentist. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
