After Having A Root Canal And A Crown Fitted Shortly Afterwards, I’m Experiencing Discomfort. Has It Failed?

Monday, February 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I have a problem that I would like to discuss with you. I have just had a root canal done and after almost 2 weeks everything had settled with the temporary dressing, no pain. Then I went back a week later for a crown to be fitted and now I’m experiencing a mild pain and the crown is quite sensitive to touch when pushing on the side. It’s not particularly pain just a persistent discomfort, please help. Should I tell my dentist? Does it sound like it failed? I’m terrified, I also has the nerve removed on this same tooth. I’ve found the whole procedure has made me very depressed. Thank you.

Will I Get An Infection After My Dentist Put Cotton Wool In My Root Canal?

Monday, September 16th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I need some advice, Dr Shaffie. I had a root canal done by my general dentist and while in the process of getting it done she placed a piece of cotton wool inside my tooth and covered it with a hard substance. Now my tooth is throbbing and killing me and when I bite down I feel something moving away in my tooth and it’s very painful. I asked around and I was told she was not supposed to use cotton and I that this could cause some kind of infection. I was told to go to the emergency room immediately and have them remove the cotton to avoid tooth infection. Is this really true?

I’ve Tried Many Treatments To Overcome My Root Canal Pain And I Don’t Know What To Do Next?

Wednesday, September 4th, 2013
Q.

Mark,

I had a root canal job done on a molar in October last year, however the pain has come back – I have tried various antibiotics, plus gone back to the Endodontic specialist in Manchester who has re-drilled the canals again and put a temporary dressing in. I still have the pain. The specialist suggests the next step is to send me to a neurolgist, as nothing is showing on the x-rays and there are no other options.

A friend in Canada is a specialist Endodontist and delivers PIPS Laser treatment (LVI Global based) and has suggested I try to find someone who practices this in the UK and also look for a dentist who has a TENS machine. I’ve not had much success so far. Any advice was be very gratefully received.
Thanks.

2 Days After My Root Canal Treatment And I Can’t Bite Down, Is This Normal?

Monday, August 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark, I have recently had a root canal that did not bother me at all. I just had another one that is right next to the first one. It did have pain in it before the root canal. It is 2 days after the root canal and it feels like the inside is tender and if I bite down on it ( even a little bit ) it feels like the rods are being pushed. During the procedure it felt as if the doctor pushed past the canal. Could this be why it has some pain? If so should i be worried and call the doctor? If this is normal how long will it last? I’m not sure what I should do and I don’t want to pester my dentist as he is a very busy man! It just doesn’t feel the same as it did last time. Any help would be great, thank you for your time. Regards.
