I have had a root-canal done on a tooth on my left side. There is a harsh , regular pain that comes daily after that along with high sensitivity of my tooth with a pain too in there on the teeth . I wanted to correct my teeth and landed into a deeper mess. Am not sure if I have to go to a dentist or a neurologist to check the head?! Could someone help advice please. Would there be something that these dentists place on the root-canal that would touch the nerves and cause this headache right up. What has to be done now? Thanks, Regards, Balaji K YYYY@YYYY
Hello, Thanks for writing in. I read your problem, i would like to tell you that pain after root canal treatment could be because of following reasons-1. Incomplete/improper maturation.2. Infection left, because of improper cleaning of canals.3. Infection of adjacent tooth. One more thing you did not mention that whether you got the crown over that tooth after root canal treatment. So I will suggest you please visit back to your dentist and get the thorough examination done including x-ray of that tooth. Nothing to get worried POU need not take a neurologists' consultation.
