I Had A Root Canal Recently And The Pain Is Still Intense. Antibiotics Don’t Seem To Be Working. What Should I Do?

Monday, November 4th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I’ve had really painful toothache on a crowned tooth which has previously had root canal work on it since last Sunday. I have taken amoxicillin 500mg for 5 days. The pain is still really intense and I can’t eat or drink as it flares the pain to intensity even further. What do you suggest is the best course of action? Do you recommend extraction? The crown has been fitted over a year ago now and I have noticed my crowns coming away from the gum line possibly due to receding gums. Really hope you can help me with this. Many thanks.

I Think My Wisdom Tooth Is Coming Through But I Am Worried It Could Be Something Serious. Can You Help Me?

Monday, October 28th, 2013
Q.

Hello, right at the back of my mouth where my wisdom tooth would be there is a piece of gum that is inflamed like a little bubble.

It happened a few days ago but went down. Now it has come back again. It is only painful to push on though and is not causing me too much distress at the moment. I also have a filling on to tooth next to it which I’m not sure would make any difference. I’m also suffering with a cold at the minute so I’m unsure as to whether this could affect it either.
I’m assuming it might just be my wisdom teeth coming through as I am 24 years old but I’m worried it could be something serious.

Please help me with this!

Thanks.

I’ve Just Had A Root Canal Filled And The Pain Has Made Me Cry. I’m Scared Of Going To The Dentist Now. What Should I Do, My Mouth Has Started To Swell?

Wednesday, October 16th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie, I went to the dentist recently and had a root canal fill and I’m in bad pain since. I can’t eat or put my teeth together and my face has swelled up on the side the tooth was done. What should I do? I would give it a five out of ten in pain, the pain is in my ear to the mouth and has made me cry. It looks like the inside of my mouth is swelling where the needle was put in. I was told I would get pain but this pain is too much. How can going to the dentist do this to you? I wished I never went now, it has made me scared of going to a dentist again.

My Dentist Has Said She Can’t Find My Root Canals And May Have To Extract A Tooth, This Really Worries Me, What Should I Do?

Wednesday, September 4th, 2013
Q.

Hi, Hello. I saw my dentist yesterday because I have an abscess on a front tooth and she gave me antibiotics and I was supposed to go back to have root canal treatment but when she looked on my X-ray she said she may not be able to do it as she couldn’t find the root canals and she may have to extract the tooth but I don’t want to lose my tooth, as this really worries me. What do you advise? If I have to lose the tooth what would be the best way to replace it? Is it really possible that she may not find the root canals or does she just want to extract so that I have to have further treatment? Any assistance would help.

Is It Normal To Feel Light-Headed Following A Tooth Extraction?

Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, can you help ease my mind please? Is it normal for the extraction socket from two upper teeth to be a hole with white stuff around the opening and the gum the day after tooth extraction? I had no pain and no swelling and am already on antibiotics also I am 13 weeks pregnant it was simple uncomplicated extraction over in less than five minutes. I only had minimum amount of bleeding not really ate yet so it isn’t anything to do with that. Is it time yet to use salt water? I have also been feeling bit hot shaky and light headed, is this normal too? It’s just scaring me a little, I didn’t expect any of this to happen as I said it was just a very straightforward extraction! Thanks for the help.

What advice can you give me about my wisdom tooth?

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have a wisdom tooth at the back left bottom of my mouth that looks like it may have grown but has not cut the gum (the bottom right has half cut the gum top left through but growing into my cheek and top right just starting to cut) I am 36 they have come through very late no? My question is the bottom left has been “inflamed” according to my doctor and dentist I had throat problems so saw my doctor first who sent me to a dentist. This was Wednesday 14th November (I had the problem since Sunday 11th November) it is now a whole week later and it still feels the same the throat is better but the funny tingly feeling in my tooth and jaw is still there? The dentist gave me antibiotics metridonzale 3x200mg for 3 days but told me to only take them if the pain gets worse – I’m not actually in pain it just feels weird on the tooth which they said was inflamed so now I don’t know whether to take the tablets as its still inflamed- if I do get an infection I don’t want to have taken antibiotics when I didn’t have to. Please give me your advice what would you do if it was your mouth? I am thinking maybe get it out but I am terrified of dentists and will have to be referred to have it out under GA at Eastmans also with Christmas being so soon and the referral procedure I probably will be like this until at least January.I am at my wits end wondering will I have problems over Christmas. Thanks, I would love to come to your practise but I am NHS, is there an insurance or payment plan I could use? thanks

How much would it cost to receive: 3 crowns, 3 root fillings and to have 2 teeth extracted?

Friday, August 31st, 2012
Q.

I am looking to have replacement crowns of my upper front 3xteeth, also require bridges to fill gaps on my lower back teeth x 2 to fill gap where 2 x teeth have been extracted (maybe x4) I also need 3 xroot fillings, and would like veneers on remaining teeth visible when I smile, back teeth to be whitened. 11x teeth upper(including 3 crowns) Could you 11x teeth and 2 gaps on lower. What do you think the cost would be for all the work? Also could you recomend a good dentist in the Chehire area, WA6.
KInd Regards J
P.S I have already had a consultation, which cost me £140, after having the special xrays, also 2 x teeth removed which cost £198 per tooth, I was under the impression that this would be the cost if surgical removal was required, although one of the teeth took a while to extract 5 to 10 minutes the other came away easily(both were broken and only had a sml amount above the gum remaining) I did not require surgery, but when I went to pay was charged £396, I coudn’t question this as I had had cotton buds put in the gaps, and couldn’t speak. Please please please, let me know if this sounds ok, or should I question it? I just want nice smile, it’s really getting me sown now, I don’t have the money and am using a credit card to finance my treatment. Have as for a quote on all work that I require, but up to yet not received one; it’s been over 6 weeks since my anitial consultation and it’s already cost £396 extractions+£140 consultaion+£35 for antibiotics(week after first consultation, got an absess on the tooth which was due to be removed)£579. Am a single mum earning £12,000 a year, can have free treatment on NHS, but not the kind I need. Really effecting my confidence. (43year old)

I’ve been on penicillin and the pain is gone but the tooth is still sore, is this normal?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I have had terrible tooth ace on my front tooth for some time and I can feel a pulsing sensation on the nerve behind the tooth. so I went to the dentist and they adviced me to have root canal treatment on the tooth feeling this would sort the problem out. At the same time I also had an infection, so when they gave me the anaesthetic the tooth did not go numb, so I was then told they would have to control the infection before
treatment was carried out. they put me on penicillin which ive been on for for 3 days now and the pain is gone but the tooth is still a little sore, is this normal?
