Question

Hello doctor,

My tooth has a hole in it, the gums are now inflated and it blocks the hole now. What procedure would the dentist do in my tooth? Also, the placement of the tooth is in the upper middle part.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. According to your description, it is a pulp polyp. It is a pulp hyperplastic condition after acute pulpitis. You do not need to worry because it is not a dangerous condition. There are two possible treatments for the same. Root canal treatment and extraction. For either of the treatments, you need to visit a dentist and opt for the one which suits you, though you will loose a tooth if you chose extraction. In the meantime, I suggest you try taking a tablet containing a combination of Ofloxacin and Ornidazole twice daily and tablet Lyser D (a combination of Diclofenac and Serratiopeptidase) twice daily for three days.

I hope this helps.
