How long does it take for the pain to subside following a root canal?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have just recently had root canal treatment on 2 molars (one top right and one bottom right). I was experiencing toothache and my dentist identified abscesses on Xray. However, since the root canal treatment I have been in as much pain as before. It is an intense pain that can only be allievated with painkillers (brufen and co-codamol). The root treatment was completed 2 weeks ago but my dentist said the treatment was successful and it can take 6 weeks for the teeth to settle down. However, I am concerned that I am still in this much pain. Is this normal? Also, may there be any underlying reason for why I am getting numerous dental abscesses at one time? Many thanks.,

Is it normal procedure to have a tooth extracted after the failure of a root canal treatment?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
I am concerned that I made the wrong decision on having a tooth removed last year as I was explaining the situation to a friend and I wanted to seek some clarification so I can put my mind at rest about the decision I made. I hope this is appropriate for me to ask the further steps I have now taken to resolve this has been to have a bridge fitted. I was experiencing toothache on a tooth that had a large filling- half the side of it had come away previously. I had root treatment carried out and was told it would be difficult with it being a back molar. The root treatment failed so I had this done again and was given a course of antibiotics. However, a week after the second root treatment I was still in pain and my dentist said that extraction was the next option or to take another course of antibiotics. I chose extraction as it was a difficult tooth and when I asked my dentist about having it built up should it be ok I was informed that ‘It would be tricky to build it out on the palatal aspect and it would cause difficulty in cleaning, stagnation and further disease’. I know there’s no point in looking back now as the tooth has gone but it this normal procedure if root canal treatment does not work? Thank you.,

I had toothache in my molar but now it has suddenly stopped. X-rays find nothing. What should I do?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
I have had toothache in my upper rear molars so much so I agreed to have a crowned molar extracted. Now three months later I had excructating pain in my back molar whilst I was away but stuck it out by taking very strong pain killers until I got home .I stopped the tablets 36 hrs ago woke up on the day of making an appointment to find the pain has gone and so far no repeat X rays have been inconclusive. Your advice would really be appreciated sincerely ,

Q.
am just wondering how effective sedation is? i am very scared of the dentist but after having terrible toothache for a week i had no choice but to go he told me the tooth needed taking out and i calmed myself enough for him to inject the gum and loosen the tooth then after 5 attempts of removing the tooth told me he could not do it i was sent home in agony and shock now i know i cant try this again without sedation..or could i even be put to sleep?,

I have a big fear of the dentist but I am suffering from tooth ache, what can I do?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi there I am really worried One of molars decayed needed filling after the birth of my daughter it has been filled which lasted a year. I had horrendous toothache went to the dentist where they temporary filled it . To see if the nerves in my tooth would settle. If not they suggested a root canal or extraction. My tooth has been fine for 7 months now the filling has fallen out, although i have a huge whole my tooth is fine. I am however very worried a s my gum has been throbbing which is near to the tooth this happens only now and then. Its not constant. I am petrified that its an abcess. I have a phobia of the dentist I have even been subscribed valium in the past thats why for the past three weeks I have be putting off going to see them. Also I would be quite happy to pay the dentist to fill my tooth every year as I am pertrified of having a root canal also Thanks in advance,
