CONSULTATION Doctor: Good morning, Mr. Anderson. How have you been feeling? Patient: Good morning, Doctor. I've been having severe pain in my lower left tooth for about a week. The pain gets worse whenever I eat or drink something hot or cold. My gums around that tooth are swollen, and I've noticed some bleeding while brushing. It has also become difficult to chew on that side. Doctor: Does the pain come and go, or is it constant? Patient: It is usually a dull ache throughout the day, but it becomes a sharp pain while eating and sometimes even wakes me up at night. Doctor: After examining your mouth and reviewing the dental X-ray, it appears you have deep dental decay with signs of infection affecting the tooth. We'll start treatment with medications today and schedule a root canal procedure. I'll also refer you to an Endodontist for specialized treatment if necessary. PRESCRIPTION 1.
