jaw pain years after root canal

I have developed a blue spot on the chewing surface of the tooth. I am facial pain around by jaw and ear. I had jaw surgery 10 years ago with plates and screws. Could the jaw pain be from the plates and screws in by jaw.

Then had root canal done, stopped my antibiotics for a couple days after the root canal because the pain went away. Now I have a dull ache in my jawbone and my ear that comes and goes. It doesn't hurt, I just feel something there. I know I don't have an infection. Is it safe to put the crown on now?

Hi, three weeks ago I had an onlay put on a molar. I was not having any trouble with my tooth but the new dentist that I went to said that my amalgam filling had leaking margins and decay under the filling so we needed to do an onlay to prevent a root canal and crown later. She did the onlay and since that time I have had toothaches (throbbing) unless I take Ibuprofin 800mg every 6-8 hours. I have avoided eating on that side of my mouth.

Three weeks after the root canal doesn't seem like long enough time for the pain to subside before the decision to do an apicoectomy is made, in my opinion. I had severe pain after a root canal on a lower back molar that lasted for two full weeks then subsided SLOWLY after that. One year follow up x-ray shows perfect healing since then. But then, I've also had root canals that had almost no pain afterward. Every tooth responds differently.

I failed to mention that when I touch the tooth accidently with my fork or spoon.. it feels like im chewing on tinfoil.. like that sharp pain on your fillings. As for the pain: it always hurts.. its a throbbing pain.

In December of 2009, I went for a cleaning and the dentist suggested getting a crown on a tooth with a large filling. He stated that there was no need for a Root Canal. After the procedure, I continued having pain and ended up having to have a root canal. One month later, I was back in the office with severe pain. After many visits with no resolution. My jaw swelled up and I had to have the tooth removed. This required me to get a bridge.

The other two possibilities is that the crown is loose or in fact you do need a root canal. I would give it some more time, but if the pain persists or gets worse I would pay a visit to the dentist. There has to be a point that you can bite on this tooth in normal function.

My husband recently has an MRI due to a 2 years history of headaches jaw tightness,neck soreness and if he quickly looks to his left has a feeling like he could black out. The MRI showed venous angioma and the doctor wants to have another MRI in 5 months. I am doing research on this and wanted to know if there were any studies showing infections that could "cause" venous angioma.

I told the dentist about my pain and he said I might need a root canal so he prescribed me some pain meds and antibiotics if the pain continues. After my crown replacement appointment I was very numb and hours later once it wore off I was again in serious achy pains so I took the medications. It has now been almost a week and I have been in this same pain every day (constantly on the medicines). This may or may not be related but I was given a different type of shot than I am used to.

I had a Root Canal done on January 22nd the numbness from the anasthesia went away later in that day, then 3 day later when I woke up my entire left jaw and lip were numb. I was told by the Dentist that It was an overfill, she then prescribed more antibiotic namely: Erythromyocin, Methylprednisolone, Tylenol 3, Keflex and Flagyl. Why all the antibiotics for an overfill. Today I am still numb lipped.

ve reduced the height of the tooth to prevent pain after the initial therapy of a root canal. Its the most common reason for pain after the start of a root canal. The needles you refer to are endodontic files and are used to remove tissue in the canal and to shape it for a filling material. These files remove the infected tissue so if he's using them, it should be doing the job of removing the badly infected tissue.

Anyway, all went well, and my bite was adjusted because a hard bite and grinding was likely the cause of the tooth damage (and a couple other teeth that also had root canals a few years back). A week or two after the surgery I started getting headaches on that side behind my eye and at the temple (where I can feel the jaw movement). It comes and goes and this week its back pretty much all day now. Not painful enough to take anything for it, just bothersome.

I had the same symptoms after my root canal. I was in SEVER pain. I was given a pain reliever and was told to put a heating pad on my jaw joint. The pain was unbearable. I missed three days of work, but the pain finally subsided.

t be that much severe pain after a root canal. Consultation with a specialist should hopefully find the problem and fix your situation.

I had pain radiating back to my jaw, and a headache. This all came about AFTER the root canal, because I had been feeling pretty good. I'm on my second round of antibiotics, and my dentist tried to tell me my pain was coming from the adjacent tooth, which also had a filling that had fallen out. I went to an endodontist for a second opinion.

I've had a root canal and the pain from that procedure has subsided. However, since the surgery I have had pain in my lower jaw, when I swallow, and it is painfull to open my mouth while attempting to eat. This pain hasn't gotten better or worse. It is subdued with a steady dose of Advil every 8 hours I have been to the doctors, and precribed anitbiotics, and after 3 days nothing seems to be working. Not even a slight improvment in my pain. Should I be concerned.

weeks after the root canal i still experienced pain in the jaw line around the tooth. went back for a second root canal. weeks later still pain. they though it might possible be a crack in the root. so I had the tooth extracted. week later, STILL pain in the jaw line around the extracted tooth and now in my jaw joint. I now think it must be an infection in my jaw bone from the original root canal.

After months of this I went to a different dentist (as mine was away) with a tooth ache and was told I needed a root canal. TMJ disapeared after Root canal. I know I am one of the lucky ones. My jaw still clicks and does not open wide, but no pain. Just thought it was worth others checking and rechecking teeth just in case! My dentist said he had similar for 5 years because of a previously done root canal which appeared successful but obviously wasn't and he was finally pain free.

Following the crown procedure (2 weeks after) i experienced intermittent pain in the previously healthy tooth (#9) and had to embark on 3 weeks of treatment / draining etc. due to abscess formation. The tooth was left 'open' for 2 weeks during this time to to the infection which eventually subsided. The RCT on this tooth was finally completed 3 weeks ago and has been fine since then.

and that it should not be causing me pain. Long story kind of short visit after visit after root canal after surgically removal of "stubby tooth" after wisdom teeth removal I am STILL having pain. The area under my jaw bone where the tooth used to be feels swollen and throbs pretty constantly unless I take ibuprofen. Also when I "probe" the area with my tongue I feel something hard(i'm assuming the cementoma)and experience "EXTREME" pain.

I am wondering if this pain is now beyond a root canal; I have no idea what to consider as next steps, but I need to do something fast, as the pain is debilitating. Thank you....

There is however, the chance that the tooth may need a root canal. Sometimes even from the trauma of the crown preparation, a root canal may be necessary. Give it a little more time now that the bite has been adjusted.
