Swelling in the gum a few months after a root canal.?

I had a root canal done a couple months ago. i have been feeling alot of pain this past week.Like along my gum line. It's not my tooth just my gums. Yesterday the dentist said taht it was just the healing because the infection size was like quadruple the normal size. He also said that the infections was gone so my jaw hurts becasue of the healing. But this morning when i woke up it hurt really reallyr eally bad!!!! Now it's all swollen and stuff. I dont know what to do for the pain either. advil is not working.

4 weeks ago
Oh my denstist also said that it may take 9-10 months for it to heal because of how big it is.

I had a root canal done and a few months later it almost felt like the infection was back. I avoided the problem for about a year and it got worse, I could see the gum swelling and it would leak a white fluid sometimes. I just went to the dentist and they said there is an infection in the tooth, the sent me to an endodontist and they confirmed the root canel was not done correctly and the tooth now needs to come out becaues the infection is so bad. Don't put this off see an endodontist as soon as possible. This infection "can" contain bacteria that "could" get in your blood stream and make you very ill.

Good Luck !
