Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Three weeks ago, I had a root canal done. But, the pain is still present. I cannot bite anything as the pressure gives me pain.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If even after three weeks of root canal treatment the pain is not relieved, then you should show it to the dentist as there may be some infection remaining. Your dentist should take an X-ray again to check for infection and either repeat the procedure or give you medicine and reduce the height of the tooth. If the root canal treatment fails, then he will advised to extract that tooth.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
