pain and some throbbing on back tooth i ha d aroot canald on 6 months ago. when i press on the crown there some pain. what can be causing this 6 months after the procedure?
I had a similar problem and I went to the guy who did my root canal and he said that he didn't see any infection. But he decided that if it was hurting then there was probably something wrong. So he did a root canal retreatment. That is where they go back in and clean out your canals again, because they may have missed something the first time and that is why you have pain. I would go to the person who did your root canal and let them take xrays. They should be able to determine what is wrong. Good luck
If the crown they placed on the tooth is not seated properly, this can cause pain. What you may be feeling are the ligaments that hold the tooth in the jaw. If you are placing a lot of stress on that tooth because the crown is not seated properly, the ligaments get stressed as well.
Is the pain only when you press on the crown? If it is, it's more likely a problem with the crown and not the Endodontic treatment.
Hi Jennifer, Just out of curiousity, would a misplaced crown cause a tooth to throb? I ask because like rc1975, I also had throbbing and pain and no one even suggested the possibility of a crown issue. The endodontist also saw nothing on the xray. Since my first root canal last summer, I have had a retreatment and an apico. I would hate that I had all that done, when it was just a crown issue. How could they tell the difference? Thanks.
Hello--Wow--I too have had terrible throbbing after the last 2 root canals -6 weeks ago...pulling, pain, etc....but not constantly!---which is what confusing the drs.--Have had 2 rounds of antibiotics and lots of advil. He of course sees nothing wrong in the x-ray ( and 2 other endodontists that I consulted!)--I don't know whether to give it "more Time" or let them do the surgery--which will probably cause MORE inflammation....I'm just afraid of making it all worse..-----It seems to get more painful as the day goes on--very strange--but this is all wearing me out!!!
Did anyones problem just resolve with some time?
Did re treatment fix the problem? or the surgery?
Thanks for the help.
