What to do when a root canal treatment material has fallen?

Hello doctor,

I am a 25-year-old woman. Three years ago, I had a root canal, and it fell out today now. It is a hole, and the tooth around the gums do I need to get it looked at also is there anything I can do at home to make sure nothing gets infected inside of the hole.

What are the signs and symptoms of a failed root canal?

Hello doctor,

I have a failed root canal with an abscess. I have been feeling light-headed, dizzy with a blocked ear. I had MRI and blood tests to rule out other issues, and they are clear. Can the abscess cause these issues? If so, how long for lightheadedness to go once the tooth is removed?

What causes a burning sensation in my gums and palate?

Hello doctor,

Two months ago, I underwent tooth cleaning by a dentist, and they have damaged my gums. Because of this teeth cleaning, I have further symptoms:

I have a burning sensation on the palate and the gums. I am having pressure on my teeth whenever they come in contact with sugar, fruit sugar, and sweeteners.

The gums on my front teeth turned a little brown.

I took Diclofenac (anti-inflammatory) for several days, but there is no improvement.

The gum has covered a little of my front teeth.

There is constant formation of plaque.

The front teeth have become stained.

I have a gland under a tooth on one side. (I do not know if it is related to the rest of the symptoms).

Two days ago, I noticed that the enamel has gone away from the front teeth and also had a mild sore throat and burning sensation.

Also, for five days, I had a small fracture like on the front teeth.

I tried solving my problems with the gum temporarily with the Curaprox Perio Plus mouthwash. For the enamel, I use elmex erosion protection toothpaste and Regenerate mouthwash and they helped a bit.

Other products which I use are:

1. Curodont Protect toothpaste and

2. Curodont Repair.

I went to the dentist to repair the enamel defects and to remineralize in-depth, but the changes are not visible. I am looking forward to your answer.

What causes pain in the root canal-treated tooth?

Hello doctor,

I had got a root canal done on my teeth. I had seven sittings to complete it. I am still having a dull pain. Sometimes I take mild pain killers. I took antibiotics for three days for this, but still, full pain is there. What can I do?
