I just had two root canals done on adjacent teeth, 6 and 7 this morning. Now that the novacaine has worn off I am experiencing a sensation that is hard describe. It is almost a persistent itch with pressure bordering on pain and occasionally becoming pain. What could be?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The itching or pain kind of experience is because of the root canal treatment, because of the instrumentation and the use of chemical used to irrigate or clean causes some irritation to the tissues. Nothing to be panic, it will come down in a day. Meanwhile you can take antibiotics like amoxicillin, and analgesics like diclofenac for pain(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care.
