Common Questions and Answers about Jaw pain after root canal crown
jaw-pain
I went to have a root canal on the advice of my dentist. I still have the same pain after the root canal - in the same place. Odd thing is the two teeth are in identical places in my mouth one on top one on bottom. I can not bite down without pain. As long as I do not bite I am fine - other than the headache I have had on the same side of my head since all this began. Yesterday I went again and they ground on it some more.
however, the temporary crown came off within an hour after placement compared to my other root canal in which the temporary crown lasted a very long time. Anyway, i just had my permanent crown put on my bottom right molar and everything was fine for a week to two weeks until I drank something very cold that sent a horrible pain through my jaw into my TMJ causing a severe headache, all lasting a quick 10 minutes.
I already had temporary filling done in that tooth around 1 year back but had pain after every 3-4 months so i went to dentist, she did check up, X-ray and said to go for root canal.
After first root canal sitting, my pain was much relieved and still it is relieved but sometimes i feel pain, not very severe as earlier in the morning time around 3:00AM till 6:00 AM and after morning brushing, it goes off.
i am having appointments with my doc on every tuesday and saturdays.
I had root canal done on Tues.afternoon for back molar left side. The root canal was done in 1 visit. The dentist drilled through a gold cap to do this. I have a cavity in the tooth under the existing cap which will be replaced. The dentist recommended root canal prior to replacement crown. Severe pain in tooth started late Wednesday afternnoon. The pain has become excrutiating. Tylenol 3 only helps for about l hr.
Still had pain, was sent to another endontist, for second opinion, who could not be conclusive, but thought pain was coming from molar behind the tooth with root canal which has the crown seated temporarily. Endodontist did root canal on the second tooth, behind root canal done first. That tooth was sensitive to cold but that has stopped since root canal a week ago. I am still having pain in the molar that had the first root canal. I am on a 4th round of antiboitics.
After having a root canal in December '08 to prepare two back molars for crowns I lost my job and all my health insurance. The last molar has now split completely down the middle leaving two craggy and sharp halfs with a hole in the center. I cannot get into a dentist for at least 6-8 months, just finding work is difficult enough. My concern is since the root and temporary filling is gone what are the dangers to my health, any symptoms I should look out for?
I went in this week to get the permanent crown put on my root canal tooth, and now I have been in pain ever since. The dentist flossed around the crown and between the tooth with the new filling and I instantly felt pain. The pain goes all the way down to the jaw. I told the dentist and he said it should go away in a few days. I do not understand how it felt fine before, and now it is in pain. I would appreciate any help because now I am fearful of going back.
The fact that you are having actual cold sensitive pain this soon after the root canal makes me think that perhaps not all the nerves/canals were cleaned out. Sounds like a nerve may have been missed. I really wouldn't get an apico at this early point. You may benefit greatly from simply having the root canal retreated.
I have just had a root canal on right upper molar tooth. I had a crown, so the root canal was done through the crown. I had it done 2 weeks ago. I was still having pain, and when I went back for the hole to be filled, the dentist decided to remove more of the nerve. I am still in terrible pain. When I eat hot or cold foods or drink hot or cold liquids I am in agony on the whole right side of my face. The whole side of my mouth lower and upper teeth are throbing.
If a dentist wants to make sure you don't suffer from root canal pain, she may give you a prescription for pain medicine.Use Orajel. Orajel is an over-the-counter gel that can temporarily numb the painful areas within your mouth. As soon as you get home, put an ice pack on the treated area. This will numb the area and reduce swelling.
So now he went on and performed the root canal over the crown, leaving the filling seeing on the crown… I did not know that was the way to do things and when I asked on my next visit if the dark spot on the crown would even out, since I thought the purpose of the crown is to cover the filling…his response was, the purpose of the crown is because you had a very large filling!!!
I had a root canal done almost a month back and at that time there was pain but not too bad and within a week the pain was gone. But now after almost a month the entire jaw where the root canal was done is hurting and it seems to be accompanied with some pain in the temple on that side of the head and pain in the ear too. So I was wondering is this is normal?
Another question that I had was how long can I go before I I absolutely need to cap the tooth with a crown?
