A member asked:
My son has pain in a tooth off & on & a swollen cheek. dentist gave antibiotic last month & took an xray, didn't find any problems. now happened again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Second opinion: Please seek the opinion of an endodontist. If his dentist didn't see any problems, why was an antibiotic prescribed? The cause of the swelling needs to be determined.. sounds like a dead nerve.
