Clinical Disclaimer
This is an image-based educational analysis. A definitive diagnosis requires an in-clinic examination, vitality testing, and dental X-rays. The visual evidence, however, indicates a severe and urgent condition requiring professional treatment.
The image shows advanced dental caries located at the cervical and root surfaces of multiple adjacent teeth, very close to the gum line. There is visible cavitation, darkened dentin, and signs consistent with gingival recession, exposing the root surfaces. This pattern suggests an active, progressing disease process, not a superficial stain.
Based on the image provided, there are several significant dental health concerns that require immediate professional attention:
Gross Caries (Severe Decay): The lower molar (bottom right of the photo) shows a large, dark cavitation covering most of the occlusal (biting) surface. This indicates extensive tooth structure loss.
Likely Pulp Exposure: Given the depth of the dark area on the lower molar, the decay has likely reached the pulp (nerve) of the tooth.
Tooth was extracted 2 days ago.
Swelling started before extraction and has not gone down since.
Area is now bruised. Extraction was difficult/traumatic.
You did not take antibiotics (previous C. difficile).
You cannot take typical OTC pain meds (alpha-gal + stomach issues).
