Hi I am a 40 year old patient with pain in upper jaw. I have only been taking good care of my teeth for the last 4 years. I have had many root canals on my bottom teeth. However, this pain seemed to be difficult to locate, so I started to root canal both tooth#12 and 13. After going back for my 2nd visit on tooth 13 the dentist couldnt get inside the tooth, and told me it calcified, and that it would be fine. At this time I began experiencing a bitter taste in my mouth when I bite down. I think the initial problem was a sinus infection. But, now a perforated sinus problem, due to a white pimple I squeeze and drain once a week. Outside of extracting this tooth, is there anything else you can suggest, so I can save this tooth. On x-ray it seems that the root is pressing against the floor of Max sinus. ...Visitor from NY (answer)
- Apicoectomy: I have an infection in the bottom front tooth, #24. I had a root canal 5 years ago. Seemed fine. Last June had x-ray slight infection, took penicillin VK500 mg, didn't get work done, referred to oral surgeon, who said could get apicoectomy. Left it alone. Last week went to dentist. Infection back worse than before. Apicoectomy suggested again. Taking penicillin again. Does the antibiotic ever clear up the infection totally, or do you always need the apico? Symptom was no pain, but internist was looking for clues of why I've been feeling dizzy for the last 2-3 weeks, and night blurriness temporarily in the left eye, which went away. Went to opthomologist, no problem. Have a stress echo scheduled for tommorrow. Does antibiotic affect results of test? Switched to augmentin XR half of 1000mg pill for spot on tonsil and throat inflammation. Could be caused by tooth infection?

- I had a root canal done 2 1/2 years ago. First having it done by a DDS on an emergency basis-then six to tweleve months later by an Endo specialist.This Dr. told me the DDS only cleared 1 root, leaving the other two. After having the second root canal done and completed (crowned etc.) things were fine except for occasional sensitivity. Now, a year after the completed root canal, I am having serious pain and sensitivity from this tooth. Can someone explain this to me since my sister who is a dental assistant says that pain in this tooth is impossible because there are no roots! ...Visitor from IL (answer)
- I just had a root canal done 5 days ago on Tooth 31. After the root canal, the Endodontist put a temporary filling on the tooth and referred me back to my dentist for a "Crown/Filling". I have exhausted my dental insurance for this year and would like to get the rest of the procedure (i.e the crown )taken care of in the next year. Would it be too late? Also, can a filling be done on this tooth? The dentist office informed me that it could not be done but the Endodntist said that it could be done. ...Visitor from CA (answer)
- I had two root canals, one right front tooth and one next to it within one year period of each other. It's the one to the right of the front tooth that has the most problems. The tooth was compromised because the first dentist preforated the root when doing the root canal. I went to a specialist who fixed it but
gave it a 70% chance. Now I'm in intermittant pain, some jaw pain, and the tooth is tender to the touch. Will I lose the tooth? Can they do any other procedure? ...Visitor from VT (answer)
- Crowns/Root canals
I recently had a root canal performed on a tooth that has a crown. The crown was placed less than a week ago, however, I experienced excruciating pain with hold and cold foods. Last year, I was in a similar
situation. First, is it normal to have to have a root canal after you receive a crown? The reason for this question is before I received the crowns, I experienced no pain. And final question is is it okay to keep your existing crowns after a root canal is performed? I have been advised by my dentist that the crowns are still good. ...Visitor from GA (answer)

- Root Canal with Crown
I had a root canal on #32 two months ago, and later had a crown placed. Now this tooth feels pain when I bite hard food. The gum around this tooth is a little bit sensitive. My dentist has done some adjustment on it and told me the X-ray looks perfect both for the crown and root canal. But I can feel the crown doesn't seem tightly hooked up with the underneath. I can shake it. When I told my dentist about it, he doesn't believe me. I don't know what's going wrong. This tooth has made me suffer longer than a year--2 times filling, then root canal then crown. ...Visitor from CO (answer)

- Root Canal/Wisdom Teeth:
I have had root canal treatment on tooth No.18. But to put the crown on it, it requires removing wisdom tooth no.17. The problem is that the wisdom tooth is fully inside the gum and hasn't come up yet. Also it is completely horizontal and might damage the nerve while being removed which may leave permanent numbness in my face. I am 25 years old and would like to know the risks involved in removing the wisdom tooth and also if I don't put the crown on the tooth on which root canal is done. Do I have any other options? ...Visitor from Rhode Island (answer)

- Failing Root Canals:
I've had quite a few root canals, 4 have failed. I had an abscess after the root canal. The infection drained into my left lymph node and under my tongue. It is very painful when I chew. I scheduled for the affected tooth to be extracted and I just started antibiotics. What to do? I can't waste money putting another cap just so they can take them out in about 6 months. Why aren't they healing in my body. Or is there something stronger to take for people like me? What would you suggest I do from this extraction - should I get a bridge and will they treat this site after the tooth/cap is out or does it just drain? ...Visitor from NY (answer)
- Root Canal Pain - Anxiety:
Can a person get drugged up before getting a root canal? Is there anyway that you don't have to experience any pain before, after, or during the procedure? Do you all still use laughing gas? Is there anyway that novacaine can be applied without needles? (As you can see I'm not fond of pain at all) ...Visitor from MD (answer)
- Root Canals - Insurance Policy Limitations:
I had a root canal done over 14 months ago on my right jaw. After getting the RCP done I did not get a crown on my jaw. The reason I didn't get a crown is because my health insurance does not cover dental crowns (I have MEDI-CAL). Not getting a crown is a big problem for me because when I eat I get food stuck in my jaw. I have to dig out the food from my jaw with dental flossers. I visited a dentist 6 months ago and asked about getting a crown but they said my medical did not cover crowns. Now I think I might have gingivitis because my gums are swollen on both sides and have two small lumps near my jaw. Now what? ...Visitor from CA (answer)
