What to do if pain persists after root canal treatment?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your root canal treatment has become a failure and is evident in the radiograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Kindly repeat root canal therapy or you will eventually need to extract it as the material has gone very deep. The material extends below the root into the bone, so the pain will persist or increase. You should get back to your doctor for further physical evaluation.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Do not get a crown placed over the tooth without doing re-root canal treatment. If the pain goes as he says, then wait for six months at least. Then take one more x-ray before placing a crown over it. If pain persists ask him to do re-root canal treatment, else you will need to extract that tooth.
