Q. I had route canal treatment on a broken toothe on 21/01/10 at 11am (There was no pain in the tooth prior to treatment). The procedure took 1hr. The morning of the 21/01/10 I awoke in very bad pain (7/10) and returned to the dentist 12.20pm. The dentist removed the top layer of temporary filling advising it must be rubbing the other teeth and causing the discomfort. The pain got gradually worse through the day and I went to bed at 8pm as the pain was so bad. I awoke at 11pm in extreme pain (9.9/10). I have taken 3 X ibruprofen and 2 X paracetamol. These have reduced the pain to a manageable level. Can this be normal? I never exaggerate pain and normally have a good threshold Thanks,
