Question:
Pain in capped tooth that had root canal: I have tooth ache pain in a tooth that went through a root canal. I had a temporary cap for a year with no problem. Since I got the permanment cap fitted and placed I been having swelling and bleeding.

I went back to the dentist 3 times. Each time I was told it fits well and I should floss floss floss. Now my pain is so severe it feels like I did when I originally had the cavity before my root canal. What is going on? I want to rip this cap off. ...Visitor from NY

Answer:
The type or quality of the pain such as sharp, dull constant, lingering, short and it's stimulus all are part of telling the story of the tooth.

Examples: a sharp pain upon bitting which does not linger may be a fractured tooth; a dull lingering pain on a top tooth which increaes when one blows his/her nose or eat may be an abcess or sinus condition and not a tooth related pain.

There are many reasons that the tooth is having pain now. There can be a small prematurity in the way that the teeth bite together which causes a constant insult to the tooth which will lead to pain. I recommend that you see a dentist for a true diagnosis.
