\"Man<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2007, I had an injury that impacted my mouth. My dentist did root canals on two teeth. Above five years ago, the crown broke off one tooth and left a hole in the tooth, which the dentist patched with a filling. I haven’t seen a dentist in several years, but now the tooth hurts. When I eat, it is painful, and the pain travels up my cheek into my eye. The tooth doesn\u2019t feel smooth anymore when I run my tongue over it. I think the cement is coming off. I cannot afford a new crown, but it seems that I need to see a dentist. Are antibiotics an option for delaying a new crown? Thank you. Manny T from Dallas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manny,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Dr. Lacy would need to examine your tooth and an x-ray for an accurate diagnosis. But your description sounds like the tooth is infected. So, yes, see a dentist right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Painful Tooth with a Root Canal Filling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An exposed root canal filling allows saliva to enter and wash out the dental cement, which keeps the filling material in place and seals out bacteria. Your tooth can become reinfected. Pain or swelling in your cheek or upper jaw can spread to your eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although antibiotics can control the infection, they will not remove it. And taking antibiotics for an extended period can result in an antibiotic-resistant infection. Only repeat root canal treatment can remove the infection. The longer you wait, the more the infection will spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dentist will examine your tooth to determine if a temporary filling is enough to preserve it or if getting a crown is the best protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What If You Cannot Afford a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you cannot afford a dental crown, talk with your dentist about ways to receive the treatment you need. Many dentists offer financing or payment plans<\/a>. Keep in mind that if your dentist recommends a crown to protect your tooth and prevent further infection, delaying the crown can lead to more costly problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
