Should I get a root canal or a dental implant if my tooth crown is completely missing, and what medications are recommended for pain relief and healing after these procedures?

Asked by Female, 45 · 4 days ago

If your tooth root is still strong and healthy, a root canal followed by a post and a new crown can save it. However, if the root is damaged or decayed, extracting it and getting a dental implant is the best option. Your dentist will take X-rays to decide. For pain relief and swelling, over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are highly effective. If an infection is present, your dentist may prescribe antibiotics like amoxicillin or an antibacterial mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to aid healing. Always follow your dentist?s specific dosage instructions.
