Q.
Hi In June 2008 I fell down and knocked my front lower left tooth out. I had the tooth put back in about an hour and a half later and fitted with a splint. I had the splint removed about 2 weeks later where the tooth had set back in place. I was then having a lot of pain from this tooth so went to the dental hospital in Sheffield, here they removed the nerve and about 7 weeks later went back (referral by my own dentist) and had root canal treatment (this was in December). After root canal treatment I was still in pain – was told not given it long enough, so had to wait another 2 months. I waited and still had pain, I was then told it had been unsuccessful (and had resorption), so would try removing the bottom of the root, this never happened and I was told I needed to have my tooth removed and this would remove my pain. I have had it removed at my own dentist (April 2009) and am still in a lot of pain. I have been back to my dentist where they have given me antibiotics- not worked still have pain in my gum and the inside and outside of my chin is burning up. I am still unable to eat correctly, bend forward and keeps me awake at night. My dentist doesn’t seem to know what the problem is. Just wondering if you could help me? Many thanks
