[|Human|] My cap came off for a root canal , it was temporary but I am going to see a dentist soon... maybe 2 weeks since usually they take that long where I am at even for emergencies. But I have been on painkillers and I used a little peroxide to subdue the infection. Now, the pain is at a lump in my jaw and I want to get this dealt with since I don t think this can wait two weeks. I also am on antibiotics but I doubt this will clear it completely, will it?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Temporary cap of the tooth came out , there can be re-infection of the root canal treated tooth spreading the infection to the adjacent surrounding tissues and the jaw bone. If the treatment is delayed the infection will further spread to the spaces . You need to visit to a dentist get clinical evaluation done . Take an x-ray , depending upon which treatment will be either pretreatment with RCT or extraction of the tooth. Antibiotic and analgesic will give a temporary relief. Hope this helps out . Regards.
