I just had a root canal on Tuesday. The pain was slightly less on Wednesday but on Thursday and today the pain has increased and I have a black spot on my gums next to the tooth were most of the pain is coming from it looks like the spot is eating into my gum line causing a hole. Is this normal
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, the pain in the root canal treated tooth could be because of endodontic flare up.usually it occurs on the next day after RCT. It will go in two days.nothing to worry, complete the course of antibiotic and analgesics...if the pain persists then consult your physician...I hope my answer will help you.confirm the treatment by taking a radiograph whether the RCT is done properly.
