Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2006root canal trouble
I had a root canal last month and in the last couple of days I have noticed significant swelling around the tooth that received the root canal. There is minimal pain in the tooth.....is this something that would usually pass or does it need to receive attention? What would be the reasons for the swelling? Any help would be great. >I had a root canal last month and in the last couple of days I have noticed >significant swelling around the tooth that received the root canal.

Infection.. when this happened to me, after several courses of antibiotics and a fair bit of time, I eventually lost the tooth. Cheerful aren't I! Ann Is the swelling at the point where the tooth meets the gums or farther down along the gums? Just give your dentist a call...he/she may need to get the filling material out of the root and place a medicine to help kill any bugs down in there. A pain in the behind, yes...but it doesn't mean you are going to lose the tooth. >I had a root canal last month and in the last couple of days I have noticed > significant swelling around the tooth that received the root canal.

No way to tell without looking. Have it checked. Steve |
