Suggest Treatment For Tooth Pain And Gum Sensitivity Post Root Canal

I had a crown placed about 3 weeks ago after having a root canal. Before the crown was placed, I advised to the dentist that I still had pain there. He took an x-ray and said he saw nothing and everything was fine. I still have a lot of pain when i drink something hot or cold and the gum where my crown is feels itchy and irritated. What should I do?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it looks like either the Infection in the tooth has not yet subsided or there is any missed root canal that is left from being cleaned and filled and is causing the presence of the pain symptoms..

I would suggest you to consult an Endodontist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and x rays from different angles has to be taken to rule extra canals or Infection..

In case if any canal is missing then location the same and filling it up will resolve the symptoms..
In case of Infection a course of antibiotics like Augmentin and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen can help but if still pain persist then Re- Root Canal Treatment or extraction can be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Regards..
