Is Facial And Eye Swelling Normal After Root Canal With Abscess Removal?
hi doc. Last Tuesday i have my root canal surgery and then he removed the abscess . The hole is soo depth. I take only take amoxil and profenid. But until now my face is swelling including my lower eye but i didnt felt any pain. Im so worried if this is normal or not.. I already called my doctor then he said ist normal because of the hole due to abscess. Please help me.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling near the eyes, face is due to the spread of infection from the tooth resulting in space infection. Usually after starting the root canal treatment the swelling will reduce, because the puss will drain through the access cavity preparation through the tooth. So, it is not normal to have swelling after starting root canal treatment. If i am your treating doctor, i would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and clavulnic acid 625mg and metronidazole 400mg BID, for 5 days. Consult a endodontist and get the tooth treated and irrigated. Once the swelling comes down and infection reduces get the root canal filled. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
