Hi, thank u 4 ur help. I have had a route filling on a front teeth crown 3/12 ago & now I suffer from pus & blood coming out from the gum,went back twice to see my dentist who is Nhs told me looks like I have an infection & prescribed metronizadole for 1/52 but said want to refer me to a specialist dentist but private, Ive asked him if I could be referred to hospital or another Nhs dentist but said that the referral will be rejected & has to be done privately! Is this true? Also he charges me every time I go to see him though I read that I shouldnt be charged for it if it was the same & main problem from the start as this is why I went principally to see him !!!
Hi, Thanks for asking query, Root canal treatment is the procedure in which all the root canals of particular tooth are completely cleaned, disinfected, and filled with inert material, so there is no chance of pain with the particular tooth if the procedure is properly done. Pain following the act can be due to incomplete procedure, reinfection due to improper cleaning, infection in that area can be due to periodontitis also. I suggest you to visit dentist get it checked clinically and radiographically. Have the scaling done, maintain oral hygiene, take tab oflox-ornidazole twice, tab ability thrice, use antiseptic mouthwash twice daily. Hope this will help.
