Tooth still hurts after root canal

2018-04-13 11:20:48
I got a root canal done 3 days back. My tooth still hurts, though it's a numb pain. I could feel my pulse in the tooth yesterday. when there's even the slightest pressure on the tooth, the pain shoots up. is this expected or is something wrong?

Do not worry. Sometimes the may be some discomfort for a few days after Root Canal treatment. Wait for a few days. If it does not subside then visit your dentist again. Also if you have some xrays you could put them up.

Consult your dentist to relieve the pressure on your tooth by adjusting your bite. The pain will resolve much faster after that. Take an anti inflammatory like tablet Combiflam
