hi i am a 58 year old female.  I had some tooth issues last aug-october, ie. susequently i had 2 root canals.  And am not having any tooth pain.  However I have had swelling along my Zygomaticus major, ever since.  it is sore if i rub along the area, i am also feeling mild burning sensation around my ear, whats going on?
Hi, thanks for your query. Mild swelling and soreness after RCT might be because of over extended filling, improper cleaning of root canals during canals, the diseased tissue may not be completely removed results in re infection. Contact your endodontist right away if you develop any of the following
