Jaw pain after room canal
Common Questions and Answers about Jaw pain after room canal
jaw-pain
Will this pain go away or will it be there until the crown is on there and the other 2 are filled? When will this pain go away? I have read that if you have pain before you will have pain after but this is cripiling pain I am in...it's all the way into my jaw by my ear and down under my jaw bone by my throat. I had the root canal to get rid of of this pain but it's exactly like it was before. PLEASE HELP ME IT HURTS SOOOO BAD!!!!
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.
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.
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.
Then it started to hurt when I would chew on that side. There was pain in the tooth and in the jaw area. I went back to the dentist and he said my bite was off and filed it down. It still hurt. Went back and he did the filing again. This time he said there was a muscle knot in my jaw and the pain could just be that the bite caused the muscle to tighten up. Filed the crown down more and told me to take ibuprofen.
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.
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.
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 tooth for the back part of the bridge had a crown on it with a previous root canal from about 10 years ago. I had never had any problems with this tooth. Once the bridge was placed, I had severe sensitivity and pain from the back tooth.
You may have TMJ or just some jaw sensitivity from the dental work you have had done and from having your mouth opened so wide for a long period of time while the dentist worked on your teeth. I had this same problem and had jaw joint pain for 10 months after having 1 tooth crowned! I am searching for answers myself now, but I won't be having in more injections unless I'm dead!
Two days passed and the pain only increased. It reached the stage where I could not tell which jaw was sore let alone which tooth was hurting. After two days I went back to the dentist who prescribed me antibiotics and tolod me to pick up some over the counter pain killers and that I should see him the next day. I have been going back to him everyday for a week and the pain is not going away although it has changed.
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.
A related discussion, <a href='/posts/show/481310'>Pain in tooth/jaw after replacement of ceramic crown</a> was started.
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.
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 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?
