Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / August 2007strange tooth
About 8 days ago, in the evening I had some pain in tooth #2. It was also sensitive to touch. I took some Advil and went to sleep. Next day, it was OK until the evening, then it began to bother me again. Also, I experienced some fever and headache. But the problem disappeared the next day, and hasn't returned. I had a root canal in that tooth 7 years ago, with a metal crown. It never bothered me since. Strange that I should feel anything there... the nerve should be dead, right? Do I need to take any further action? What could a dentist do, besides pull it? Mark Well it depends on a lot of things which I cannot see from my monitor. What does your dentist say about it?

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Mark Mark, I had about the same similar situations, the root canal thing, and pain went away eventually. It was the same tooth I had the root canal. Nerves can be funny and tricky at times. It is not necessarily absess. If it is, then pain will be all the time. In your case, it is not as you said. . One lady I know asked to have her tooth pulled when she thought was the tooth, but found to be not the tooth. I would not have it pulled. Just be patient and hang on there. > > About 8 days ago, in the evening I had some > > pain in tooth #2. It was also sensitive to touch. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > necessarily absess.

When did this happen, what is the status today? Mark >Do I need to take any further action? Yes, have it checked by a dentist. >What could >a dentist do, besides pull it?

Intermittent problems are the hardest to diagnose. If your car makes a strange noise, or idles rough, but you take it to a mechanic and the problem has disappeared, there's nothing he can do. > >What could a dentist do, besides pull it? > > Depends on what the problem is. After a root canal, what kind of problems can occur? Is there any further treatment avaliable? I thought the root canal was final, they clean out everything. Mark >> >Do I need to take any further action? >> >> Yes, have it checked by a dentist. > >I don't run to a doctor every time I have >a tummy ache. Neither do I, but I can't see the tooth from my computer monitor. It's best to have a recently treated tooth checked. It could be something simple. >Intermittent problems are the hardest to >diagnose.

There is a myriad of post-op complications that can exist with any dental treatment. Too many to go into here, there are multiple textbooks on the subject. Yes. Usually, in ~ 95 - 98% of cases. That's what you get for thinking <hehe> >Mark On Aug 25, New...@bix.nex wrote: > >> >Do I need to take any further action? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > recently treated tooth checked.

I'm afraid the most likely result is, he won't find anything wrong, it's a wate of time. > >> Neither do I, but I can't see the tooth from > >> my computer monitor.

Could be clenching, fractures, poor RCT fill, extra canal, different tooth, TFO, or something else. See your dentist!
