No, I haven't taken any otc sinus medication. I'm not congested at all. I think they mean that the root of the tooth is so very close to the sinus that its causing a problem. That's really the...

Hmmmmmm. That's interesting. But since December? I would think the pain would have been gone by now.

I have pain on that side of my face but its now exactly on my cheek. Its more off to...

You absolutely can win at on line poker.
Play both on bodog...

Thanks Flossie! I''ll make an apt. w/an oral surgeon and hopefully get to the "root" of the problem... lol
Does it sound like a sinus problem to you though?

Could it be hitting my sinus and that is why I am in pain. My dentist told me months ago that there is probably something wrong with my sinus. The endodondist said it is very very close to the...

Would a cracked root make the entire tooth hurt?

Oops... I meant to say endodontist. Not periodontist. Sorry.

Hello,
I have been in pain since December!! It all started with my dentist taking out a very old filling and replacing it with a spanking new white one! Well one thing led to another and the...

Due to a recent death, a close friend is the beneficiary to two annuities. Before the money is distributed to her, she was asked what percentage (if any) of the funds does she want directly...

Why will it be another expense that will go down the drain? Do you think eventually the tooth will need to be pulled.
Also, what can another endodontist see/do at this point that my regular...

two different endodontists looked at the tooth. Both took x-rays. They are both from the same office... but neither found anything wrong with it.
my regular dentist suggested I wait to have a...

the endodontist took more x-rays and said everything looked good. Wouldn't they have noticed a crack or anything else?

I'm afraid tis going to crack when they remove the temp. filling. Its...

Yes, there is a temporary filling in it already. Since December, when I had the root canal done.
So am I better off just getting the crown?

There is still no answer as to why the tooth is...

[F]Hi
I've had a tooth nightmare since October... beginning with the removal of an old filling and ending with a root canal two months later. The tooth hurt constantly and is finally settling...

A sinus lift?? // ugh! That doesn't sound like too much fun... I think it'd be easier to just pull the tooth don't you think?

flossie, one more question...
If it is in fact the tooth pressing on the sinus... what can be done about it?

Yes, this has gone on way too long. My dentist put in a medicated temp. filling before the root canal to try to calm the nerve and that didn't work.
Would a sedative filling help if it is in fact...

No Flossie, I have no other sinus issues. Never did, and still don't. No headaches, runny nose... nothing. She said that if the pain went away with the antibiotic then that may indicate that I...

Flossie, with all the information I've given you... what is your guess? Would you say it sounds like a sinus issue or a crack?

Does it sound possible that its hitting my sinus and if so, what...

Try Monavie. It's a juice with the main ingredient being the "Acaii" berry. Look it up and read about it. You'll be impressed. Monavie.com

God bless!

flossie, if the tooth was cracked wouldn't this have shown up in at least one of the x rays?
I will definitely mention that when I go back to see the endodontist on Saturday. Oh, and I checked out...

Yes I've tried that. It's not really painful on my gum, but unfortunately massaging doesn't help. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I am still in pain with my back molar. Ongoing since October.
To recap my series of events: removed very old filling and replaced with new one... thats when the pain began. Removed new...

What is a crown lengthening? Hope I don't need that... the endodontist filed the back part or my tooth practically to my gum.

Your story sounds like mine. Back and forth to the dentist, more and more antibiotics and all the symptoms the same.
My endodontist put me on a medication to relax the muscles in my face. Along...

Hi
I am going through the same problem. Had a filling on a top back molar and it was all downhill from there. I ended up having a root canal after a filling, filling removal and a temp. medicated...

I haven't had the crown put on yet. The temporary filling is still in the tooth that the endodontist put it after the root canal. My dentist didn't want to proceed with any of that yet because...

Why do you think I should consider having the tooth removed? What could be wrong? Is it possible that the one behind it also needs a root canal.
I'd hate to have it pulled after all the work...

Hello this story may be a little long but if anybody has the patience to read it and offer some help I'd really appreciate it.

Its been over a month since I had a root canal and am still...

Yes, this endodondist is very thourough and very caring. And yes, I'm feeling much better now. Slightly sensitive but no more throbbing pain. I'm still on the antibiotic and the steriod for the...

yes, there were four roots and she told me she got them all. She said they were very curved but everything looked OK.
so I went back to the endodontist today. This morning I had a tremendous...

Thanks so much for your help. This sounds a little encouraging, hopefully knowing that it can be corrected. How long till you were pain free?

Oh, and sorry you had to go through such a...

Thanks for answering so quickly.

I will definitely call them in the morning. Do you have any idea what could be causing the pressure on the side of my face? Also, do you think flying is going...

Hi

I have had many setbacks since my root canal last week. First excruciating pain, which has subsided since I was put on an antibiotic three days later (Friday), although I am still unable to...

Hi
Well, here it is going on day 5 since I had a root canal performed, day 3 of being on an antibiotic.

The pain has somewhat diminished but now I'm experiencing a tremendous amount of pressure...

if it were a root canal perforation, wouldn't the dentist have seen it in the x-ray after she was finished with the root canal?

hello,

if it is in fact a root canal perforation, what happens next. Does it eventually heal itself or does it require oral surgery? The endodontist took an x ray when she was finished with the...

I had a root canal three days ago and daily the pain increases. The endodontist prescribed an antibiotic and 600 mg ibuprophen (spelling?).

The pain is just getting worse and worse even after...

Its amazing how many of you have the same story as I do.

My root canal is killing me three days later . I just went on antibiotics also and am hoping it will help.

Good luck and hope...

So sorry for your loss. I too lost my mother in 2006. In six weeks time we lost first my father in law, then my father and then my mother. They were all ill, but my father in law and mother's...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad during this difficult time. I lost my father to pancreatic cancer two years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of him.

Strolling down...

Well today is day 3 since the root canal and it really hurts. I try not to put any pressure on it while eating but every now and again I mistakenly bite on it... and wow... I see stars! Its sorer...

Hi

I recently had a root canal after a new filling and temp filling failed. They told me it would be uncomfortable for a couple of days but when I bite down on anything it is very sore. It also...

I get the impression that my dentist wants to remove himself from the situation altogether... as if its MY PROBLEM now... and I need to find some resolution, not HIM. Its much better with the...

Could I possible go back and have him put in a "silver" filling then... and why didn't he recommend that?
Someone was just telling me that today actually. Her story was similar to mine. Old...

the ache seems to subside a little and then starts hurting again. I would say that's its maybe a little bit better since he took out the new filling and replaced it with the temp. although the...

Do you think I shouldhold off then in seeing an endontist (not sure of spelling). My dentist is telling me I shouldn't wait because if could flare up. Why didn't he tell me to leave the new perm....

My dentist removed a very old filling and replaced it with a new white one. He said I had a cavity in the tooth and it needed to be done. The tooth NEVER bothered me until he took out the old...

Yes... always keep clove oil on hand. Works like magic.

I have baseboard heat. I didn't know that they had to be bled. Thanks.

Also, should I have the boiler cleaned before the winter? Its only three years old. Wasn't sure .

Thanks
