[|Human|] Hi I have horrible dental hygiene , havnt been to a dentist in 5+ years. I have a tooth that is basically like a bowl meaning the inside is gone and the outer walls remain. It has been hurting on and off the Past few weeks and this morning I woke up with a swollen jaw/cheek, and when you feel my cheek it is hard near jaw line. It s also numb when I move my mouth. I don t have a dentist, what should I do and is there any home soothing method, thx.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking the query, As described by you , your tooth is badly carious and the infection had spread to the surrounding periapical tissues. You need to visit to the Dentist and get check up done . Take an x-ray of the tooth . If you delay the treatment the infection will further spread to surrounding jaw bones spaces leading to space infections. At home take saline water gargles 3-4 times a day. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Use 0.2% of chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily . Take tab Flemiclav three times tab Colonel three times for 3 days . Get complete mouth scaling and polishing done. Hope this helps out . Regards....
