Hello. I have had two sessions of root canal treatment on a tooth that started to cause me a lot of pain; however my second session was stopped after it became too painful for my dentist to carry on. She said she would put a temp filling in until the infection has gone and then carry out the last part next time. My tooth doesnt hurt unless I apply pressure on it (the exact same pain I felt when she had to end the session) so Im worried itll need extracting or something considering she has taken the nerve out but I still feel pain. My next appointment is tomorrow and I just cant sleep. I really am scared of the dentist and Id love some advice before my appointment. Thank you!
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain can be due to some pulp tissue left in the canal a thorough debridement of the canal is required for which you require a next sitting. Take a course of analgesic before the visit. If the tooth can be saved by root canal treatment there is no need to extract it. Take a complete course of antibiotics as prescribed by your Dentist. Take care!
