Apicoectomy bone recovery
Its now almost 2 months that I had apicoectomy. Generally the pain was on and off. But now the pain is not stopping. Is it normal . How much time it will take to recover. And the teeth does not have strength at all.
Is there something to worry about?
Like any surgical procedure, You may feel pain and discomfort after Apicoectomy. It should subside completely within a week or two. If you are having pain after 2 months then you need to consult with doctor again. Because their might be recurrent infection.
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, and try to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, use mouthwash.

After apicoectomy, healing takes some time (symptoms should subside within 10-15 days and radiographic healing might take 6-12 months).
Having unstoppable pain after 2 months indicates some infection.
Kindly upload your radiograph for better guidance
