Q. Pain is not subsiding after root canal treatment. What to do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Your root canal treatment has become 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 is extending below the root into bone, so the pain will persist or increase.

• You should get back to your doctor for further physical evaluation.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• 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.
