Discomfort After A Root Canal?
I had a root canal done 2-3 weeks ago. (july 2). I haven't had any real problems with it until 2 days ago...some slight throbbing when I am moving around alot. I still can't chew with that tooth but I expected that to take a while. Dentists or RDAs is this a normal thing? Could it be there is something wrong, or could it be that it is still slightly infected? I had an abcess tooth before the root canal and was on antibiotics for 7 days. Any advice is appreciateed. Thankyou.
Answers:
well if its painful while chewing than there are chances of seeping infection below the filling , you need to get it checked by your dentiust!
How can I stop grinding my teeth at night?
I would go back to the dentist for an xray..it MIGHT just be that the temp, filling that was put in is to high, and the tooth isn't sitting right, it might just need to be buffed down.
