I got root canal done in 2 sittings. The 2nd sitting was on Sept 1, 2012 and have called for capping to be done on this thursday (Sept 13). Though after first sitting I didn,t experienced any pain or discomfort, but 2 days after the 2nd sitting, I m feeling pain and discomfort in surrounding area (For 2 days I was prescribed Esgipyrin). What is the reason? Can I continue with Esgipyrin till my next sitting? Moreover, I feel rough and uneven surface at the back of my tooth which is very annoying when felt with tongue . What is the reason for the rough surface? Will it be overcomed by capping?
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query. Pain after root canal treatment indicates few remnants still left in the affected tooth which need to be clean. So I would suggest you visit back to your dentist and get thorough clinical examination and x-ray of the same tooth and adjacent teeth to be done to rule out the cause of pain and take a symptomatic treatment, if pain is in the same tooth, it needs re-root canal treatment. Hope this will be helpful. Take care
