Root canal, no initial pain- but two days later, sore, and sensitive?

I had a root canal done on a tooth, the first two days after the root canal, i didn't feel any discomfort and I also didn't bother chewing on that side. However, starting on the third day, and today is the fourth, i am feeling sore, and itchy in that area, when i'm brushing my teeth, I feel sensitivity, which was not felt before... I thought discomfort is only for the first 48 hours post-op, should I be concerned? Thanks in Advance!

It is normal for the tooth to be sensitive. The discomfort should not be getting worse. You should be a little sore. You should NOT have any swelling , if you do, call your doctor right away.
Reply:It might be infected. Call the dentist and have it checked out.
Reply:Were you taking the antibiotics as instructed? Just had a root canal done too. Call Oral Surgeon for advice. Don't play with that.
Reply:Every root canal I've had I paid $300+ for 1/2 doz of these. I had same problem %26amp; my dentist wouldn't listen to me as I told him I had dry sockets %26amp; root canal wasn't my best remedy. My jaw would swell as if I had a golf ball in my jaw.I'd have red streaks running up %26amp; down %26amp; suffer with outrageous pain. He would remove the "root canal work" he'd done %26amp; replace it a few weeks later. How Do I know I didn't get a simple filling? Dentist wanted me in the hospital,said I had lots of infection...duh...I knew that.


I ended up switching my life long dentist to a chain of dentist after all my root canals broke off at the gum line and lost every one of those back teeth, now wearing upper %26amp; lower back teeth partials.


If your discomfort turns to throbbing--better get to a dentist--either your dentist or a new one.


Good Luck
Reply:It's very possible your dentist didn't get all of the nerve out (which is what a root canal is for). Contact he/she immediately. Also, make note of it so that they don't attempt to charge you for another visit/incomplete job and make it known to THEM that you did so.
