exteme and prolonging pain after root canal - Dental Health Message Board

redgotha · 04-03-2008, 03:12 PM

I had a root canal two months ago and I am having pain, extreme pressure and my tooth is sore to the touch. I can not eat on it at all, even soft foods hurt. I have been to the dentist 5 times and he has adjusted it as much as he can, and I have seen the endontist once, and both have no idea what is going on and keep passing me back and forth. I can not be the only one with these issues. I am living on loritab until I can go back to the endontist which is in 5 days. If he can not help me I am afraid that I will have to have it extracted.
Does anyone have any advice or similar symptoms?

i had a root canal done a few days ago in Tijuana because wwe couldt afford it in the states and i feel the same way i cannot chew on it and it hurts to have any kind of pressure on it. my parents dont believe me that i am feeling pain and they think i'm using it as an excuse to not got to school and they hide the pain reliever from me which sucks but we cant afford to go to dentist or root canal speacialist, just wanted 2 let u kno ur not the only one.
