Don't understand root canal treatment?

I had a root canal fail so have had it redone. What i don't understand is that when the dentist took out the failed root canal treatment and put a temp filling on the tooth it was fine with no pain then I had the root canal treatment done again and its back hurting again. Why was there no pain in the 2 weeks it just had the temp filling on without the canals filled? There is no infection because I have had 2 courses of antibiotics and the pain did not go away.

Each situation is different. Every tooth and every person is different. These are good, valid questions. You should ask them to your dentist. No one here can give you information as accurate as he can.


Best wishes!

Reply:It sounds like it might need to be re-done. If there is an infection underneath the filling antibiotics might not clear it up. This happened to me before and was very painful. The dentist had to clean out each of the roots of the tooth in turn. I would recommend that you have a valium injection if you need to have this done. My sympathy and best of luck.
Reply:Funny u say that, I go in with no pain just to have new bridge fitted and now I am in pain all the time. Anyway if ur tooth has been removed and root canal treatment done and now u say ur in pain again, wat i think it may be, it may be he she has clipped an nerve, u may have to have nerve taken out, unless u already have and if so pray u dont get wat i had, i had a cyst still attatched to my tooth socket and i was going crazy with pain, i had umpteen injections as it didnt kill pain, every injection was terribly painfull as he forced the stuff in. my wife held my hand my sons held each leg, the cleaners of the surgery stood and watched as it was well ast closing time, thye pain was like a train ran over my head, the more anesthesia he pumped in the worse the pain got, he injectede me in e4xce4ss of 20 times but was within limits as i got scared that i would die on the chair but he said it was fine. in the end the pain was so severe i couldnt take no more i was sweating so much my clothes were saturated , in the end i couldnt take the pain any more, i told him just get it out regardless the pain, he got it out and there was a small piece of root still in my tooth socket and at the top of the root was a cyst, it wasnt visible on x-ray, i think i lost at least half a stone in weight in that short time.
Reply:Root canal surgery can be pretty traumatic, especially one like yours that required two steps. Unfortunately it sounds as though it didn't work; and something is still wrong. Sometimes they fail. The teeth can be so hard due to calcification that the dentist cannot get to all the nerve root. He may have to drill in from the front or back of the gum.


Gosh, just talking about it is making my teeth hurt. I feel for you; and I've been through the same thing. I think you have to go back to your dentist. Poor baby.
Reply:only thing i am going to say is very painfull and very exspencive
Reply:I'm a dental nurse and it it because the filling is hard and permanent and not soft and temporary. The tip or apex of your tooth is very sensitive and it may take a few days or so to settle after being worked on. Or it could be that the new filling not the root filling, the one that you can see in your mouth is too high and you need to have it adjusted to stop you putting unnecessary pressure on it. Give it a couple of days and if its no better them go back and see your dentist, he should be happy to help!
Reply:you will need to get it extracted. this is a common problem with trying to save a dead tooth.





do not get root canals and if you have them, get them out:
