I Still Get Pain From Root Canal Treatment I Had Years Ago. Can You Refer Me To Someone Who Can Help?
Q.
Hello,
I had the first root canal treatment done over 10 years ago now. A few more canal treatments on the same tooth and the adjacent tooth followed as the first treatment has not resolved the pain I was suffering with. I have seen many dentists and some endodontics since then. All of them said the root canal work had been done exceptionally well and they can’t see anything which may cause pain. However I still suffer with an irritating, dull, sometimes pulsating spontaneous toothache and tender gum around them which comes and goes. I was in agony for 2 weeks after my recent visit to a hygienist. It drives me mad. Can you help or refer me to someone who can? Thank you.

My advice would be to see a very experienced specialist endodontist who knows a significant amount about pain, especially residual pain from root canals. It may also be advisable to have a CT scan to check the area in more detail with a 3-D X-ray of this type. My recommendation in London is to see Dr Adi Moran who can help you
