Doctor done root canaling and advised to cap the perticular teeth. i unable to go to Doctor to give measurement for cap since two weeks. now i am getting pain from the tooth. is it due to non fixing the cap or improper root canaling process or my wound has not cured ? at this stage will it be advisable to fix the cap with out addressing the pain issue ?
Brief Answer:
Improper RCT, Gum infection, Radiograph, Medicines
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain in the root canal treated tooth is concerned, I have two possibilities.
It can be because of the improper root canal treatment or secondary gum infection around the tooth.
Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done and upload the images, So that we can give an exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
Mean while, if I were your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic).
Regarding fixing the crown, I advise not to get it fixed till the pain comes down or diagnosis is confirmed, because once the crown is fixed, it will become a waste if the root canal treatment has to be repeated.
I hope my answer will help you, If any queries are there, reply me back.
Take care
