I just had some dental work...?!


Question:

I just had some dental work...?

I just had nine fillings and two root canals yesterday all across my top teeth. The two root canals are in my left canine, and the tooth to the right of it. The dr said that i should be back to my normal routine today and didnt give me anything for pain. However, I suffer from RA and fibromyalgia, so I process pain a little differently than the average person. This morning when i woke up, i was in excrusiating pain, but only in the root canal teeth. I cant even stand to bite my teeth together.
has anyone been through this? Can you offer advice? I would appreciate anything that can get me over this part.....thank you.
Best answer goes to the most informative and compassionate answer.

I guess i should tell you guys that I cant take ibuprofen, aleve, ect. because of another med that I take daily. And yes, the dr did know about my condition. Thanks for all the advice so far!


Answers:

you had quite a lot done in one day, its no wonder that you are in pain. I have had my share of root canals and I can tell
you that they are a bit painful! Contact your doctor and
let them know about the pain. An antiinflammatory med
will help, but you may have some teeth hitting together and
this just agravates the pain. The dentist should bring you back in and check to make sure that the "fillings" in the
root canals aren't to high or to low. The weekend is coming
up and you don't want to be in pain. Call today and
demand to have some help. Have them prescribe you
a pain killer. Did you tell them about the RA and fibro?
If not you need too.

Good luck! fell better
