Hi there,I had intense pain on one of my back teeth and after visiting the dentist, was told that it required a root canal. After a couple of sessions, the dentist said that the tooth was too sensitive to finish the root canal (it was causing me pain every time she touched it), and she put me on antibiotics. I returned and she said it was still too sensitive, so closed the hole that she made and left me with antibiotics. The pain stopped for a couple of months then returned, and it was very intense. I was unable to do anything when the pain struck and tried to get rid of it with clove oil, which made the pain worse. I visited an emergency dentist who prescribed me strong antibiotics. The pain eventually left and the tooth no longer troubled me. However, that was a couple of months ago and now the tooth is starting to cause me problems again. What should I do, ask my dentist for more tablets or attempt the root canal again, knowing that my tooth is still very sensitive?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, As per your clinical history I suggest you to visit a Dentist, take a fresh x-ray and decide whether the tooth can be clinically treated or have to go for extraction. Antibiotics and analgesic will give temporary relief, long duration of strong antibiotics can lead to side effects like abdominal upset, omitting, diarrhea, even thrush. I will encourage you to get the treatment of the tootChatDoctorpleted. Maintain a good oral hygiene, use antiseptic mouthwash twice daily. Hope this helps out. Regards.
