I had my first meeting of root canal on 16 march...and now I feel lot of pain....My dentist called me on 18 for next meeting of root canal but did not perform it and said that it will take more time to heal...she has now asked me to come on 21...But I am constantly having this pulsating pain...Should I consult another dentist in between the treatment?
Hi, Many a time in the first meeting or first sitting of root canal if the canals are not completely extirpated or cleaned, then in that case due to infectious tissue present there is pain and pressure. So the root canals need to be re-cleaned and a course of antibiotics should be advised. For now, take 3 days course of antibiotics and painkillers as it will help in reducing both infection and pain and help in easing the treatment also and better outcomes of root canal treatment. In case if there is no improvement or after the re-cleaning also there is nothing better than consult an Endodontist and get rechecked. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
