Why is unfinished root canal treatment causing me pain?
Q. On the 5th Jan I had a crown fitted on a tooth that had broken my previous dentist said thet due to age teeth become brittle and she tried to repair it. I change my dentist to one nearer home and they fitted a crown since then I have been back with pain. The third week I went back and root canal treatment was performed. Last week I was due to have the root canal treatment finished but I had pain in my lower jaw and a slight ear ache I asked the dentist to give me some antibiotics ib case there was any infection and could I have the root canal treatment finished the following week which I am due on tuesday. I still have some pain but painkillers help. What should I do,
A. You will need to have the root canal treatment completed as it sounds as though you still have an infection. It is a slow and frustrating (not to mention painful) process, but it is the best chance of saving that tooth. Justin Glaister
I spoke to you in February regarding root canal treatment after having a crown fitted. Unfortunately the crown and tooth had to be removed. The problem is that the pain in my jaw still exists and can be quite painfull at time even though there is no tooth there now and it has all healed up nicely. My dentist said it may be trauma to the lymph nodes I am still in pain and quite concerned now after 5months. Please can you give me some advice should I see my doctor?
Hi, i recently came in for a filling and the dentist told me if i experienced anymore pain i should come back for rootcanal treatment, i am working under 16 hours but am not recieving from the jobcentre, is there a payment plan or anyway it could be cheaper? Also do you do anesphetic for root canal.Regards
