How is an abscess near a root canal-treated tooth managed?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 23-year-old male. I had a root canal treatment two years back. I am getting blisters near that tooth frequently, which is painful. Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. A blister is a pus-filled sac called an abscess. It indicates the presence of infection around the root of the corresponding tooth. It can be due to the following causes:
1. Incomplete root canal treatment (RCT).
2. Persistent periapical lesions after RCT.
3. Secondary caries after RCT.
I suggest you take an IOPAR (intra-oral periapical radiograph) for that tooth to determine the status of the tooth and the root canal treatment. I cannot prescribe drugs as you have not mentioned drug allergies. I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
