Large Knot On The Jaw Bone And Tooth Area Just After Root Canal

I have a large knot on the jaw bone and tooth area of a recently crowned and root canals molar. I originally just had a crown put on, however after three weeks it became infected and when I went back to dentist, he removed crown, performed root canal & gave 1st round of antibiotics. The pain is lessened, however now I have a large harndened knot on the jaw/tooth area.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM

I have gone through your query, as you have undergone root canal treatment and now you have hard knot like swelling in jaw bone this indicates that infection is still there .

If you wont get relief after taking antibiotics then you should go for Re-Rct treatment.

Hope this will help you.

Wishing you good health.
