Procedure Description Anatomy of RC Pain Broken File?
• I just had a route canal treatment. The endodontist gave me antibiotics and pain killers after the procedure. It’s been 4 days now, and I still am in pain (constant dull throbbing pain). The pain has not increased, but it has not subsided either. Is this normal? Do I have an infection? How long am I supposed to be in pain? I try not to take painkillers because I don’t want to get dependent on them. …Justine in CA (answer) • Four years ago, I had a root canal on the two (anterior?) front teeth on the bottom. It didn’t heal, so I had an apicoectomy. That didn’t heal, so I had another root canal which revealed 2 extra canals in each tooth that could not be seen on x-ray. Two years after the last procedure, I am still having pain. My teeth feel like they are being pushed together and the lump where the abcess was is still there, but hard as a rock now. When it’s pressed from the outside, I feel pressure and increased pain in “dead” teeth. What is going on? It was biopsied 3 years ago,
