I had root canal done for the third time after 6 years of being pain free.  I accidentally pressed on them when I was asleep.  Then the pain returned.  The tooth has been painful for 3 months although slightly more settled lately tik I had the root canal surgery two days sgo. Now my tooth feels like its pulsating.  Plus the gums behind my front two teeth are burning and stinging.  And I have a little bump behind the front teeth it is also sore. Im worried that Ill have to have it extracted,  and Im 34 and it seems to young an age to lose them.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, After a root canal treatment the canals are completely devitalized, so there are no chances of pain. Pain can be due to incompletely done procedure, re-infection, any left over unexplored canal, food lodgment between cap and the tooth if the tooth is capped. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and take the x-ray of the tooth which will show any left remnant of pulp tissue, depending upon x-ray you have to go for reject or extraction of tooth. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Go for symptomatic treatment of complete mouth scaling and polishing. Hope this helps out. Regards.
