Root Canal?!
Question:
Root Canal?
I had a root canal about 10 years ago on a tooth that has been acting up the last few months. It has been very sensitive to pressure, hot, cold, etc. It can't be a cavity because I had a root canal there. Anyone have/had the same problem or know what it could be? My dentist took x-rays and didn't see anything wrong but there is something wrong because the pain got so bad I had to go to the emergency room.
Answers:
When they did the root canal did they get the whole nerve out? Possibly a remnant has become infected? Perhaps you need to go beyond your dentist and discuss it with the specialist that does root canals ?
