Ask My Dentist

I have created this forum for those in need of an online dentist, whether they don't have access to their own dentist or simply just can't afford the cost right now I hope to help. Dr. Sam Weisz d.d.s

Anonymous asked: i have a tooth that was supposed to get capped but didnt, now it hurts and there is pain and swelling in my gums and my cheek is swollen, what should i do?

Sounds like you have a cavity that has infected the nerve and maybe more depending on the swelling.  Of course the final answer is to get an appointment with the dentist for treatment. In the mean time for today this video might help explain what is going on… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3rTF4c26Po
