Question:
Cracked Tooth - New crown - Root Canal - No Relief: I had a crown put on a cracked tooth and shortly after the tooth became sensitive to hot and cold temperatures and at times painful.

I went in and had a root canal done (abcess treatment) and the tooth never settled down. I then began antibiotics and pain medications over a weekend and still no relief.

I taking Amoxicillin and Flagel was added. After a few days the dentist wanted to see me. He decided to clean out canals and medicate the tooth and mentioned there was some pus. I had a great deal of relief and three more days he put in a temporary filling for a trial.

The tooth pain and swelling returned and now I have pus again. I don't understand what is going on. ...Visitor from MD

Answer:
It sounds like your dentist tried his best to solve your fractured tooth and subsequent endodontic/root canal problem.

Since this tooth has not settled down, your dentist is correct. You should see a root canal specialist as he/she may be better able to treat this painful tooth.

The endodontist may discover that the tooth root is fractured below the gum which may be why your tooth is not settling down.
