I had a root canal done on my upper back tooth about 2 months ago and i have a \" i think is an abcess over the tooth..on the top part of the inside of my mouth. What do you think it might be? I recall the doctor said \"it would be a temp root canal because he couldnt save the tooth, I havent time to pull the tooth out and now this.
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As you are mentioning that you had a root canal done of your tooth 2 months ago and after that you have noticed an abscess in the same tooth, it means that the root canal has not been done properly. Actually root canal treatment resolves all source of infection and pain, and hence an abscess should not be encountered, but still if it is there then the infection is still present, but there is nothing to worry as a re treatment can be done. Because the abscess can not go till you go for a re treatment or removal of tooth. Hope it will help you.
