hello i had a root canal down about 5 years ago everything was okay and about 2 years ago the tooth broke well i didnt think much off it bc it didnt hurt around the time i was due to give birth i noticed a small blister like bump next to the tooth... what could it possibly be/
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The blister can be due to the presence of reinfection once the tooth is broken down in the root canal treatment. Formation of an abscess in relation to the tooth can be the cause. I would advise you to visit your endodontist and have a radiograph done. Once evaluated, if the tooth can be retreated, go ahead with the pretreatment of the tooth. Crown placement should be followed thereby. If the tooth cannot be saved, have it extracted. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
