Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2007post root canal painn swelling
I had a upper left molar root canal finished 5 days ago and a post put in the day after I am now experiencing discomfort along the gum of that tooth and to the 2 teeth forward with some pressure in the cheek radiating now into the side of my nose and base of eye and noticable swelling in the cheek by the base of my nose. Could anyone please give me a suggestion as to what is happening? I went to the ER and was told that is was referred pain from the nerves but no explaination for the swelling > I had a upper left molar root canal finished 5 days ago and a post put in the > day after I am now experiencing discomfort along the gum of that tooth and to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > happening?

It may be related to the tooth with the root canal (or not), but be seen promptly.

Certainly a consideration.

What the heck do I do now ???..... lol .....I am seeing the endodontist at 4 pm today.if it cracked the floor of the sinus what is the chance the root is cracked Thanks again >> Thanks for the info....... here's an update I had a CT scan this morning and they think that the procedure cracked the floor of the sinus...... it showed the root canal filled to the floor and possibly cracked it.

I have heard of filling material being extruded into the sinus. Someone who knows the anatomy of the area should confirm whether this is so from the CT. I'm guessing some tech just told you this--wait for the radiologist report on the study.
