Is it normal to still feel some pain in a tooth that had a root canal??


Question: I just had a root canal done 2 weeks ago. It is not finished yet, I go back on Monday for my second appt. The tooth had medicine put into it and a temporary filling. I am still feeling some slight pain in the tooth and some pain in the tooth next to it. Does this sound normal or has anyone else had this problem before?
Answers: Yes, it is normal, as I've had 3 root canals and have had some pain after each one. My dentist told me that sometimes it take about a month before all of the pain will go away. If your not sure, just call your dentist and tell him about it.
Yes. It's like a case of phantom pain. Plus there are still nerves and stuff all around in there. I had all my teeth pulled and every once in a while I start to get a toothache, I remember I don't have any then the pain goes away right away. Weird huh?
I would talk to the dentist about this when you return. From my experience the pain should not be as strong as it was originally, it should be subsiding. I have had a root canal that would hurt with hot or cold beverages for several years afterward, at a lower intensity of pain.
It's completely normal... Don't worry, though. You will never hurt like you did before the root canal ever again.
i had mine done almost a year ago and it still freakin hurts sometimes ..the pain will never go away ..i suggest just taking it out!
