After RCT swollen gum
Hi last year I had RCT but till now I have pain in the teeth. My second dentist found out that there was no need of re RCT there was cap leakage. So he performed some kind of gum lengthening and recapped the area. Again I am suffering pain. After looking at xrays I had 3 dentists check it my RCT is completely fine but the gum swelling never goes. Applying gum paint gives me relief but no one could figure out the cause of recurring of swelling. I am following every instruction given by doctor but nothing much improvement happens.
Today I saw that there was a cyst (challa) on my gum area. On apply gum paint on it the pain vanished when I pressed my cap. It was placed next to my affected teeth
Please look into my case and share what is happening with me. I have already changed 2 doctors and spent more than 20,000 on treatments. Please suggest any cure
